North Mississippi Allstars/Black Crowes guitarist Luther Dickinson has announced a series of tour dates with his new project The Wandering. As previously reported, The Wandering is one of three albums Dickinson released this week, which features a showcase for female singers from Memphis and North Mississippi.

“The idea for the band came together one day when I saw a picture of Valerie playing the banjo, which led me to think about Amy playing upright bass, which led me to think about Sharde playing drums and Shannon playing guitar,” Dickinson says. “So I called them up and arranged a session. We had no idea what to expect and I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it couldn’t have been lovelier.”

Three tracks from The Wandering along with a full list of tour dates can be found below.
