I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone chronicles Jim Dickinson's extraordinary life in the Memphis music scene of the fifties and sixties and how he went on to play with and produce a rich array of artists, including Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Duane Allman, Arlo Guthrie, and Albert King.
With verve and wit, Dickinson (1941-2009) describes his trip to Blind Lemon's grave on the Texas flatlands as a college student and how that encounter inspired his return to Memphis. Back home, he looked up Gus Cannon and Furry Lewis, began staging plays, cofounded what would become the annual Memphis Blues Festival, and started recording.
The blues, Elvis, and early rock 'n' roll compelled Dickinson to reject racial barriers and spurred his contributions to the Memphis music and experimental art scene. He explains how the family yardman, WDIA, Dewey Philips, Furry Lewis, Will Shade, and Howlin' Wolf shaped him and recounts how he went on to learn his craft at Sun, Ardent, American, Muscle Shoals, and Criteria studios from master producers Sam Phillips, John Fry, Chips Moman, and Jerry Wexler.

What a wonderful surprise to read about Jim in the early days in Chicago and after high school. I was his drummer in high school and his words brought back so many memories. Most amazing was his poetic style of writing which was so professional and captivating. Couldn’t put the book down. In 1996, our high school band had a reunion and I got a chance to catch up. But there were so many stories I had not heard. If you lived in Memphis during the 50’s and early 60’s you could not miss hearing Jim play. In high school, we listened to DJ Dewey Phillips play records of black musicians on the radio and BB King who was a disc jockey on WDIA, a black music station. These influences inspired Jim to begin playing piano and the blues. He was way ahead of his time - long before The Rolling Stones or other white boys played the blues. This book is a great testament to the genius in Jim Dickinson.Product details

I'm Just Dead I'm Not Gone (Audible Audio Edition) Jim Dickinson Ernest Suarez editor Sean Runnette Tantor Audio Books Reviews
lots of local color about Memphis during the 50's and 60's. Details I never knew.
Well done.
Had a hard time putting it down. Could be because I was raised in Memphis, attended the same school and knew many of the local characters. Had kept up with Jim's career through reading the liner notes of record albums. Saw him play a few times in the 70s. A real talented guy. The book brought back a lot of memories of Memphis in the 50s and 60s.
If you come from Memphis, you've probably already heard about this book, by local music legend Jim Dickinson. However, this man's significance goes beyond a local scope. His legacy lives on in famous recording with Dylan and the Rolling Stones, in the evolution of rock and roll, and with the persistence of roots music's influence on artists today. Therefore, this book is essential reading for anybody with a serious interest in music. Through tales of his early career, Dickinson weaves a pulsing human spirit into the story of his quest for a place within the music industry. The result is a colorful tapestry and a mighty, soulful sound.
***I did not buy this book from , but I bought it elsewhere and have read it.***
I have been waiting for the publication of this volume since I read an excerpt from it in a journal of Southern culture three or four years ago and was delighted by the author's stylish writing about extraordinary events in his childhood. The book is a well-written autobiography with a distinctive, affable authorial voice, covering his first 30 years (1941–1972); it does not touch on his career after that. It fits right in with my interest in blues, R&B, rock-and-roll (1950s–1970s), and soul music and stands alongside my collection of books on these subjects by Peter Guralnick, Jim Gordon, Stanley Booth, Robert Palmer, and others.
The lost of Jim Dickinson was a great lost to the music world. The good news was the Jim's son was able to find the missing last chapter
of this manuscript. In the book Jim has taken the approach to highlight significant impacts in his life by telling a story about people and
events that he came in contact with. Jim also describes negative and positive influences that shaped him into the person that we all knew
as well as the influences on the music that he loved and the music that he played.
It is written from a personal perspective which make the writings more revealing as well as having a larger impact on the reader. I will be
sorry when I complete the book and put it down. It will give me an opportunity to say goodbye to Jim Dickinson..
I really enjoyed this book. Jim Dickinson tells a great story from his early years in the music business. It's like your sitting on a front porch with some drinks or what have ya listening to him tell his tales. The man has a way with words that left me laughing as he described some of the people he encountered along the was. Definitely one of the best reads I've encountered this year!!!
