Anyone still looking to book shows please contact littlemissmanagement@hotmail.co.uk or sonic@sonic-boom.info for details. Finally there's a new SPECTRUM vs JIM DICKINSON lp out early next year in Febuary on Birdman Records entitled 'Spectrum meets Cpt. Memphis - Indian Givers'. It's a really nice record featuring collaborations in songwriting & recording with the meta-legenday Jim Dickinson, known for his astounding work with Ry Cooder (Paris Texas + others), Dylan (1990s), the Stones (Wild Horses), Aretha Franklin (1970s), Big Star (Like Flies on Sherbet), The Cramps (Red Headed Woman) as well as his many incarnations from The Jesters (legendary SUN Records artistes) thru to his current mesmerising Mudboy & the Neutrons (known felons in drag ) band & Cpt. Memphis solo persona. Tracks include a re-recording of 'Amen', 'Take your Time' & 'When Tommorrow Hits', new Spectrum song 'Mary', collaborations 'The Lonesome death of 'Johnny Ace' (an astounding song about the late Johnny Ace, a 50s r&b crooner who blew his brains out playing "gun games" backstage between 2 shows on Xmas day at the famous Mitchell Hotel & whorehouse in Memphis... stories dont get much better than this), 'Confederate Dead' and some new fantastic Jim Dickinson songs in 'till your mainline comes' & 'the old cow died'. The sessions were recorded around 3 years ago at Jim's studio in the Mississipi mud lands surrounding the river Mississipi, just south of the Tennesee border. The lp features Randall Nieman of Spectrum & Fuxa and Jimmy Crosthwait from Mudboy & the Neutrons and on Jim's classic 1972 release 'Dixie Fried'. Please note this is not the SPECTRUM lp that has been in the works ready for release next year. The release of that l.p. will be preceded by a new SPECTRUM EP "Walking & Falling" in March on Mind Expansion records. Bestest, Sonic |
