Free Music Notes for Luther's Blues
Free Music Review: RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "YOU'LL LOVE LUTHER'S BLUES! THEY'RE CLASSIC ELECTRIC BLUES!"
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a re-release, with 3 additional songs, adding an "ADDITIONAL THIRTY MINUTES OF UNADULTERATED BLUES! The total playing time is an almost unheard of "SEVENTY MINUTES"! Luther is one of "Shaq's, The King Of The World Blues Reviewer's" six favorite electric blues guitarist's of all-time, and he shows on this CD, why he is rated so highly! The CD starts of with a 6 minute 18 second rendition entitled "Luther's Blues". The unique sound of his guitar stringing, has almost a tinny, electric, reverberation, and when he whales that "his mother calls him Luther and his Father calls him son".. You're hearing a rear combination of instrument, voice, and blue soul! If you bought this CD in it's first manifestation, it's worth buying it again, with the extra 30 minutes of music, which includes a "19 MINUTE LONG", live medley performed at Ann Arbor. Luther also does a toe-tapping rendition of a Freddy King song, "San-"HO"-Zay". This is a start to finish classic blues CD. And Shaq, "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer" says any lover of electric blues, would be remiss not to have this in their collection! P.S. You will also be pleasantly surprised at some of the outstanding "harp" playing, by Luther himself. What are you waiting for Mr./Mrs. Blues Lover? Shaq says buy this now!
Luther's Blues Poster
The second of three Allison albums issued on Motown's Gordy subsidiary in the 1970s, Luther's Blues captures the guitarist's uncovered-wire sound in its full glory. The crescendo ending of "Let's Have a Little Talk," one of five Allison originals here, is more than another standard variation on crowd-pleasing clich?s. It's an apocalyptic, blues-wailing roar, with Allison's pleading vocal at its core. Berry Gordy turns up in the composer credits for one tune, "Someday Pretty Baby," which, along with "Part Time Love," trawls the company's early raw-edged back catalog. Even the funk-flavored "K.T."--an attempted hit single?--fits the mood. The three bonus tracks on this exemplary remaster nearly double the original LP's length, with a raw version of Freddy King's "San-Ho-Zay" glowing alongside an alternate version of Allison's "Bloomington Closing" and a lengthy medley from the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues Festival. --Rickey WrightBlues Music CDs
