Luther and Cody Dickinson started North Mississippi Allstars in 1996 as a loose collective of like-minded second-generation musicians who shared a local repertoire and regional style. Over the years the lineup shifted by design, and each NMA record offered up a different combination of collaborators. 'Set Sail' finds the brothers working with Jesse Williams on bass and Lamar Williams, Jr. for the first time. The 2022 album continues the band's tradition of creating roots music that displays remarkable variety in which they were able to build upon their self-described sound of primitive modernism - a melding of the new and the old, traditional and futuristic, crafted lyrics and improvisational music.
