Biography by Richard Skelly
An American-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter who lived in France since 1980, Luther Allison was the man to book at blues festivals in the mid-'90s. Allison's comeback into the mainstream was ushered in by a recording contract with an American record company, Chicago-based Alligator Records. After he signed with Alligator in 1994, Allison's popularity grew exponentially and he worked steadily until his death in 1997. ... Read More..
...Лютер Эллисон: американский блюзовый певец-гитарист, ветеран чикагской блюзовой сцены 60х, блюз-рокер начала 70х, традиционалист в 80х, неожиданно к концу 90х ставший бесспорным лидером техасского блюзового стиля...
Сорокопятки, записанные в середине 60х на чикагской фирме "Делмарк" (Delmark) собраны в альбом "Sweet Home Chicago (Милый дом мой, Чикаго)". Дебютный альбом записал для этой же фирмы в 1968 - "Love Me Mama".
Успешное выступление на престижном Эннэрборском блюз-фестивале привлекло внимание рок-молодежи к музыке Эллисона. На волне этого успеха Эллисон подписывает в 1972 контракт с большой фирмой Мотаун и выпускает еще несколько альбомов. Однако интерес публики к блюзу в США стремительно падает, а Эллисон обнаруживает, что в европейских музыкальных клубах для него всегда есть работа. В 1979 он окончательно перебирается в Париж. Работа в маленьких клубах чередуется с успешными выступлениями на крупнейших джазовых фестивалях. В альбоме "Where Have You Been (Где ты был)" представлены записи Эллисона в манере жесткого энергичного электроблюза, сделанные на джаз-фестивале в Монтре в период с 1976 по 1994.
В те же годы для небольших европейских фирм он записывает альбомы акустического блюза ("Hand Me Down My Moonshine (Передай мне мою самогонку"). В 1989 в его группе начал играл его сын Бернард, выступающий теперь самостоятельно. Записанный в 1993 в Мемфисе для европейской фирмы альбом "Soul Fixin' Man", переизданный чикагской фирмой Alligator, стал первым за 20 лет альбомом Эллисона, выпущенным в США. Возвращение обернулось триумфом: выступления в качестве хедлайнера на всех значительных блюзовых фестивалях США, аншлаговые гастроли, блестящие рецензии, статьи во всех блюзовых и гитарных журналах. 1995 год принес ему награды имени У.К.Хэнди по 5 основным категориям и 10 итоговых за год премий ведущего блюзового журнала Livin' Blues. Два последовавших альбома, записанных в Мемфисе специально для "Эллигейтор", преумножили этот успех.
По мнению экспертов из "Guitar Player" его "свирепое соло сочетает мудрость опытного расказчика с элегантностью БиБиКинга, гибкостью Бадди Гая и густым жалящим тоном Алберта Кинга".
Лютер Эллисон играл современный вариант техасского блюза с энергетикой, редко свойственной его ровесникам из рок-епархии....

1969. Love Me Mama
Review by Thom Owens
Although it has its moments — particularly on the title track — Luther Allison's debut album, Love Me Mama, is on the whole uneven, featuring more mediocre tracks than killer cuts. Nevertheless, it offers intriguing glimpses of the style he would later develop.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The very thing that made Luther Allison noteworthy became an albatross around his neck. Years after his initial run of records in the '70s, he was known for the same thing he was at the time — he was the only blues artist on Gordy, or any Motown affiliated label. This was true and novel, but many focused on the novelty, not the truth, ignoring Allison's status as a terrific torchbearer of raw Chicago blues. Some of material illustrates some contemporary influence — dig that funky groove and organ on "Raggedy and Dirty," or the rock-oriented slow burn of Mel London's "Cut You A-Loose" — but as his original title track illustrates, he can also deliver a torturous, impassioned slow grind. Still, this isn't an album about originality, it's a record how tradition can remain alive in a contemporary setting. Apart from the slightly cleaner production and the extended running time, this could have been released 15 years earlier, since its heart is in classic Chicago blues, particularly Chess. He draws on Willie Dixon via Howlin' Wolf for the first two tracks, dipping into Elmore James and B.B. King's catalogs later on in the record. This accounts for over half of the album's running time, and every one of these tunes are familiar — and, for good measure, he dips into "Spoonful" on "Cut You A-Loose" — but what matters is Allison's performance, which is never less than committed and usually gripping. And that's what makes this record work — it's firmly on familiar territory, but Allison gives it his own personality through the sheer strength of his love for this music. Perhaps that doesn't make for a revolutionary debut — it's not a visionary record the way, say, Magic Sam's West Side Soul is — but that would come later. With Bad News Is Coming, Luther Allison just delivered one of the best straight-ahead Chicago blues records of the early '70s. Too bad everybody thought of it as a little folly on Motown. [Allison and producer Joe Peraino cut a lot of material during these sessions, and four of the best of these outtakes — the original "It's Been a Long Time," plus versions of "The Stumble," "Sweet Home Chicago," and "Take My Love (I Want to Give It All to You)" — appeared on Universal/Motown's excellent 2001 reissue. There's really no difference in quality with these cuts; they simply couldn't fit on the original, but thanks to the expanded time of a CD, there's four other first-class cuts to savor on this fine modern blues platter.]
