North Mississippi Allstars: Borderline, London
Adam Sweeting, The Guardian, 19 January 2004
THE NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS are the "best blues-rock band in the world", according to Barry, the Borderline's promoter, and he's probably right. The Allstars first exploded into view with 2000's Shake Hands With Shorty. It had the critics spraying them with superlatives for their incendiary mix of southern blues and punk energy.
