Biography

The name James Luther Dickinson may not be well known but the sound of his piano and organ certainly are. Together with his group, the Dixie Flyers, house-band at Atlantic-owned Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, Florida, Dickinson accompanied such stellar artists as Aretha Franklin, Carmen McRae, Delaney & Bonnie, Dee Dee Warwick, Jerry Jeff Walker, Ronnie Hawkins, Sam and Dave, Sam the Sham, Brook Benton, Lulu and (Little) Esther Phillips. His piano playing was also heard on recordings by the Flaming Groovies, Albert King, Ronnie Milsap, Eric Quincy tate, Petula Clark, Maria Muldaur and Duane Allman. Dickinson has been equally effective as a producer. Since making his production debut with Dan Penn's Emmet the Singing Ranger Live In The Woods, he's gone on to oversee recordings by Ry Cooder, Alex Chilton, Jason and the Scorchers, Green On Red, the Replacements, Primal Scream, Mudhoney and Rocket From The Crypt. Dickinson has maintained a much lower key as a recording artist.
