At the time, our father, Jim Dickinson, was working at Criteria Studios in Miami for Atlantic Records. Jerry Wexler and Tom Dowd had hired he and his crew of Memphis musicians to move to Miami and be their house band/rhythm section at Criteria. They recorded with Atlantic artists Jerry Jeff Walker, Sam Samudio, Sam and Dave, Ronnie Hawkins, Lulu, Carmen McRae and won a Grammy for Aretha Franklin’s. Duane Allman was on the scene and a friend to all.
That is the setup for Eric and Duane recording their acoustic version of “Mean Old World,” with Jim Dickinson on piano.Anthology A few years back Jason Isbell invited me to record our own acoustic version of “Mean Old World” as a nod to rock & roll tradition and history, reuniting and reigniting the chemistry of Memphis and Muscle Shoals musicians. We recorded a nasty version with Dave Cobb producing, but the track was never released. Cody and I often played the song with Derek Trucks while on Tedeschi Trucks Band’s 2016 Wheels of Soul Tour.
