Mose Allison Sings

Description

This LP reminds listeners that Allison was churning out great songs and performances as far back as 1957 (and that hes been doing the same ever since). The artists distinctive mixture of blues, jazz, dynamic piano playing, and witty songwriting plays loud and clear on this early offering.
There are fewer Allison originals than one might prefer here; instead he takes on classic blues (Willie Dixons Seventh Son) and jazz (Duke Ellingtons Dont Get Around Much Anymore). But the originals that are here (like Young Mans Blues, which was covered by the Who) are worth the price of admission.
