"A burn-down-the-house live performer. The multi-talented Allison is a soulful singer, an excellent, original songwriter, and a powerful guitarist, equally capable of playing screaming slide, scratchy soul rhythm and stabbing single-note solos, all with overflowing energy, abundant confidence and a deft touch...high-intensity. Allison delivers dancing-on-a-razor's-edge West Side guitar. He comes on like a guitar-slinging Otis Redding, delivering the sweet and sour r&b ballads with heart-stopping intensity."

With Luther Allisons birthday last week, and as part of my  continuing look into the great blues releases of 1994, I’m featuring his remarkable, groundbreaking Alligator Records debut “Soul Fixin Man”.

Plus a bunch of incredible new releases from Shemekia Copeland,  Mark Hummel, Tab Benoit, Guy Davis, Jontavious Willis, Gary Nicholson, Frank Sultana and Jovin Webb.
