May 1997
Luther Allison
"Living In The House Of The Blues" and "Will It Ever Change?" are other slow, intense numbers. And if you start to think of Allison as a one-dimensional artist, then he'll speed up the tempo for you on the more cheerful "You Can, You Can." Another of this artist's strengths is his ability to take a cover tune, and reshape it to his own style. On Reckless Allison takes O.V. Wright's soul weeper "You're Gonna Make Me Cry," leads in with a churchy organ intro, then hits the listener with incredible impassioned, pleading vocals. Luther Allison is arguably the finest contemporary blues performer. Reckless further cements that reputation. - Bill Mitchell |
