I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone chronicles Jim Dickinson's
extraordinary life in the Memphis music scene of the fifties and
sixties and how he went on to play with and produce a rich array of
artists, including Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder,
Duane Allman, Arlo Guthrie, and Albert King. With verve and wit,
Dickinson(1941-2009) describes how his trip to Blind Lemon's grave
on the Texas flatlands as a college student and how that encounter
inspired his return to Memphis. Back home, he looked up Gus Cannon
and Furry Lewis, began staging plays, cofounded what would become
the annual Memphis Blues Festival, and started recording. The
blues, Elvis, and early rock 'n' roll compelled Dickinson to reject
racial barriers and spurred his contributions to the Memphis music
and experimental art scene. He explains how thefamily yardman,
WDIA, Dewey Philips, Furry Lewis, Will Shade, and Howlin' Wolf
shaped him and recounts how he went on to learn his craft at Sun,
Ardent, American, Muscle Shoals, and Criteria studios from master
producers Sam Phillips, John Fry, Chips Moman, and Jerry Wexler.
Dickinson is a member of the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame and an
inaugural inductee of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. He has
received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Engineering and
Production from the Americana Music Association, a Brass Note on
the Beale Street Walk of Fame in Memphis, and a Heritage Marker on
the Mississippi Blues Trail. This memoir recounts a love affairwith
Memphis, the blues, and rock 'n' roll through Dickinson's
captivating blend of intelligence, humor, and candor.
