Background notes
Archive material and source history
Luther Allison was born in Widener, Arkansas in 1939 and grew up hearing Mississippi Delta blues. He moved to Chicago in the 1960s, where he developed his guitar style playing in clubs. His early albums like 'Love Me Mama' from 1969 and 'Bad News Is Coming' from 1972 showed his approach to blues with rock and funk elements.
Allison's live shows were known for their intensity, and songs like 'Feelin So Good' and 'Evil Is Going On' captured his raw vocal delivery. He recorded steadily through the 1970s and 1980s, including the album 'Serious' in 1987. He died in 1997.
His music stayed grounded in blues traditions while reaching for something rougher and more immediate. The recordings he left behind, from early Chicago sessions to later work, have a directness that still connects with listeners who appreciate that kind of playing.
