Background notes
Archive material and source history
1140 Mississippi came together in New Orleans in the early 1990s, with Richard Jordan on vocals, Michael Brockman on guitar, and Michael Shaw on drums. Their sound mixed rock, soul, and funk, and they found a wider audience in 1996 when '1959' became a hit. That song's nostalgic feel seemed to connect with people, and it helped put them on the map.
They released several albums, including their self-titled debut in 1997, 'The Lost Cause' in 2000, and '9th Ward Blues' in 2006. Other songs like 'Asparagus' and 'Lullaby For A Sleepy Girlfriend' show the range of their catalog. The band faced some internal friction and legal issues around 1998, which led to a short break, but they kept making music through the 2000s.
Jordan's vocals were a central part of their sound, and his lyrics often touched on social themes and personal struggles. Brockman's guitar work added texture and drive, while Shaw's drumming gave the songs a solid, danceable foundation. They maintained a following for their live shows, which were known for being energetic and direct.
