Playing a by-now trademarked ragged and loose North Mississippi juke joint-based version of southern rock and roll and blues, the Hill Country Revue was created in 2008 by Cody Dickinson and Chris Chew up from the North Mississippi Allstars along with drummer Ed “Hot” Cleveland, blues harpist Daniel Coburn, and guitarist Kirk Smithhart, with repeated appearances by fellow NMA-member Luther Dickinson on guitar, drummer Martin Shore, bassist Aaron Julison, and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Garry Burnside, the son of legendary bluesman R.L. Burnside. Younger Burnside’s songs constitute vast majority from the group’s debut recording, Take action, that was released by Razor & Connect in ’09 2009.
