Hill Country Revue is definitely an offshoot of the more well-known North Mississippi Allstars, what with guitarist/vocalist Cody Dickinson and bassist Chris Chew runnin' things. But it's also definitely much more than that. While the stomping, organic roots-groove of NMA is amply represented, there's a flowing, lyrical nature here, and a reverence for the dirtiest of chitlin-circuit backwoods blues, that lend Make A Move a personality all its own (and hefty contributions by smokin' guitarists Garry and Duwayne Burnside, along with NMA six-stringer Luther Dickinson, don't hurt none, either). Fans of the down 'n' gritty will love tunes like “Dirty Shirt,” “Let's Talk About Me And You” and “Let Me Love You,” while the inherent melodies and Allman Brothers-esque bouncy guitar jams of “You Can Make It” and “Growing Up In Mississippi.” This is the real deal, showcasing a group of musicians both technically gifted and completely in touch with the soul at the root of the blues. - Colin Kincaid
