Biography

Thrash-funk trio DDT was led by singer/guitarist Luther Dickinson and his percussionist brother Cody, the sons of legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson. Bassist Paul Taylor completed the lineup, which in 1994 issued the live Some of My Best Friends Are Blues; another concert set, Live at the World Famous Antenna Club, appeared two years later. With the addition of vocalist Kelley Hurt, sax player Jim Spake, and keyboardist Chris Parker, the lineup morphed into the DDT Big Band, honing a vast electric boogie sound; when Taylor exited to join Big Ass Truck, the Dickinsons recruited bassist Chris Chew and formed the North Mississippi Allstars. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
