Luther Andrews Dickinson (born January 18, 1973) is the lead guitarist and vocalist for the North Mississippi All Stars as well as lead guitarist for The Black Crowes, replacing former lead guitarist Marc Ford. He hosts Guitar Xpress on the Video On Demand network, Lifeskool (formerly Mag Rack).

He was born in West Tennessee to Mary Lindsay and Jim Dickinson, a Memphis record producer. Dickinson grew up playing and gaining experience with the Replacements, Mojo Nixon, Toy Caldwell, the New Gospel Choir, and Billy Lee Riley. In 1999, along with his brother Cody, he played on Willy DeVille's "Horse of a Different Color" album, for which he also produced one song ("Goin' Over the Hill").

Luther was recently featured in an issue of Rolling Stone as one of the best guitarists. He is one of the true blues-rock guitarists continuing the southern style with Jimi Hendrix and Clapton similarities.

On November 27th, 2007, it was announced Luther would take on guitarist duties for The Black Crowes. His recording debut with the band was on "Warpaint", released in March 2008.
