Prayer for Peace

Editors’ Notes The North Mississippi Allstars return to their roots here, paying tribute to the rich and storied blues tradition that inspired them. They kick things off with the flute-licked original title track and go straight down home with “Stealin,” recalling The Band’s rollicking folk. Mississippi Fred McDowell’s “You Got to Move” provides a chance for them to dig out a slinky, simmering groove, and their take on R.L. Burnside’s “Long Haired Doney” is electrifying, pulling out all the stops on a feral final guitar solo.
