About the artists:<
Mudboy and the Neutrons, the legendary underground band formed by Lee Baker, Jimmy Crosthwait, Jim Dickinson, and Sid Selvidge left an indelible mark on Memphis music and the world beyond. As Sons of Mudboy (and actual progeny of the band members), Ben Baker, Cody and Luther Dickinson (of the North Mississippi All Stars) and Steve Selvidge (of Hold Steady) carry on the tradition of song and musical craziness that was that band. The lone surviving Mudboy, Jimmy Crosthwait is with them, playing his 100 year old washboard to keep them on that path. Mudboy and the Neutrons were recently immortalized in Robert Gordon’s latest book Memphis Rent Party.
