In 2017, photographer Wyatt McSpadden found an old roll of film from 1996 and tracked down members of North Mississippi Allstars to share his forgotten photographs. The images were so profound and so beautiful that they would come to inspire the latest recording, Up And Rolling. The images inspired the band to ask, “What did the music sound like that night in 96? What does Mississippi music sound like now?

The band would return to the famous Zebra Ranch studio to record Up And Rolling, inspired by Wyatt’s images. They gathered together to fire up the tube amps and begin conjuring up modern Mississippi music, ancient and futuristic all at once. Telling it how it was and how they think it should be. Up And Rolling is modern Mississippi. Transcending time and space, the music reaches out into the dark of night like the wisteria vine, looking for free hearted souls to latch onto and wedge into the foundation of hate, slowly tearing down walls a generation at a time. This album is a limited edition color vinyl pressing. This title is limited to 1,700 copies worldwide.
