He has produced Willy DeVille, Green on Red, Mojo Nixon, The Replacements, Tav Falco's Panther Burns,
and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, among many others, and in 1977 an aural documentary of
Memphis' Beale Street, Beale Street Saturday Night, which featured performances by
Sid Selvidge, Furry Lewis and Dickinson's band Mud Boy and the Neutrons.
He has also worked with Ry Cooder, and played on Dylan's album Time Out of Mind.
