Get moving and grooving to the funky sound of the North Mississippi Allstars and their new single “Still Shakin'”. Always known for blending various musical genres into their self-styled ‘Modern Mississippi Music’, North Mississippi Allstars combine a range of influences into this experimental track. Over great rhythms and some unexpected sounds and styling, the backing vocals soar.
Luther Dickinson says of the song: “‘Still Shakin” grew from a studio improv jam and I knew I wanted to write a song for the title track, expressing our gratitude to anyone that has supported us over these 25 years. Stringing hill country inside jokes together, the lyrics kept coming to me and I laid them down on the road using my kid’s karaoke mic.” The accompanying video was partly shot at Willie Mitchell’s legendary Royal Studios and also includes footage of live shows supplied by fans.
The track is taken from their new record “Still Shakin’” due out on 6th June 2025 via New West Records. The 11-track set was produced by Luther & Cody Dickinson and was primarily recorded at the Dickinson family studio, Zebra Ranch, in Independence, Mississippi.
To make their twelfth album, the North Mississippi Allstars went back to the beginning—namely, their 2000 debut, “Shake Hands with Shorty”. Luther Dickinson says, “Still Shakin’ is a celebration of our life-changing first album, which we released 25 years ago, and a love letter of appreciation to everyone who supported us and kept us in the game all these years. Touring this album cycle into 2026 will mark thirty years since we started North Mississippi Allstars, and we couldn’t resist by commemorating both of those anniversaries. Rather than focus on the old material, we decided to record new music in the spirit of our debut.”
“Still Shakin’” will be available across digital platforms, compact disc, and standard black vinyl. A limited red LP edition autographed by the band, as well as a limited autographed CD edition will be available via independent retailers. A limited-to-600 yellow LP autographed by the band will be available via Heady Wax Fiends. An autographed CD edition, as well as an exclusive & very limited silver “25th Anniversary Pressing” autographed by the band, are both available for pre-order directly via New West Records (but check where they ship from).
The band have also announced two runs of European dates for the summer – dates below the video.
