Release Notes

Allison began accompanying his famous father to blues festivals in the early 1970's. There, he was introduced to a who's-who of Chicago blues stars: Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor and Albert King, among others. When he was seven or eight, he began having aspirations of becoming a guitar slinger like his father. Allison's father was more then just a casual record collector, and so Bernard benefited from his father and brothers collections of classic blues and gospel.

"...It's just a big pleasure for me to continue my father's legacy, but you know I don't go out and try to be Luther Allison. I just go and do what I've learned from my Dad and the likes of Koko Taylor, or Stevie Ray Vaughan or Albert King. So. I'm trying to keep the blues alive Bernard Allison style." - From Interview on KFAI Radio/USA

- Bernard Allison / Guitar, Vocals
