In 2017, photographer Wyatt McSpadden found an old roll of film from 1996 and tracked down members of North Mississippi Allstars to share his forgotten photographs. The images were so profound and so beautiful that they would come to inspire the latest recording, Up And Rolling. The images inspired the band to ask, “What did the music sound like that night in '96? What does Mississippi music sound like now? The band returned to the famous Zebra Ranch studio to record Up And Rolling. They gathered together to fire up the tube amps and begin conjuring up modern Mississippi music, ancient and futuristic all at once.
