Jim Dickinson, 1941-2009

”1966: Cuts the song “Cadillac Man” for Sun Records, attracting the interest of his idol, Sam Phillips.
1969: Plays piano on “Wild Horses” for The Rolling Stones in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
1975: Produces Big Star’s dark masterpiece Third/Sister Lovers. It eventually is named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
1986: Rowdy Minneapolis rockers The Replacements come to Memphis to record the critically-acclaimed Pleased to Meet Me with Dickinson producing.
1997: Plays on Bob Dylan’s Grammy-winning “comeback” album Time Out of Mind.
2009: Releases his swan song, Dinosaurs Run in Circles, a collection of old pop standards”

Stones, Big Star, ’Mats og Dylan, siger vist alt. Hvis ikke, kan vi ligeledes nævne Aretha Franklin, The Flamin Groovies, Willy DeVille, Green on Red, Ry Cooder, Mojo Nixon, Tav Falco's Panther Burns og Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Ej heller at forglemme solodebuten ’Dixie Fried’ fra 1972. Hvil i fred, Jim Dickinson
