5.0 out of 5 stars
This will be one of your favorite CD's,
This review is from: Blue Streak (Audio CD)
Luther Allison's Blue Streak is simply one of the best blues albums around. There is not a disappointing track on the entire CD. From the infectious wood-block beat of "What have I Done Wrong" to the heart-wrenching "Cherry Red Wine", Allison poured his heart and soul into every cut. The combination of Allison's powerful vocals and virtuoso guitar playing blend perfectly; neither takes the back seat to the other. If you have never heard Luther Allison, give this CD a listen. Then, like me, you'll be a fan and want to have all of his CD's. Rest in peace, Luther.

Better than "Restless",

This review is from: Blue Streak (Audio CD)
Watch out! "Restless" gathered much more acclaim, but this CD is just as good if not better! There's a lot of heart and soul, as well as electric blues on this one. It's too bad Luther passed away just as he was really hitting his stride.

Luther Is The Man,
By
This review is from: Blue Streak (Audio CD)
Another strong Chicago blues album from Allison and band. This is a great album that features some killer guitar and Allison's trademark vocals. I believe Allison won a W.C. Handy award for song of the year with "Cherry Red Wine" from this album, and it is a great track. I have since heard it recorded by several other artists including Johnny Lang, but none of them hold up to the original. Allsion also branches into some slide and steel guitar on this album which adds some nice variety. Other standout tracks include "All The Kings Horses", "Walking Papers", "What's Going On In My Home", "Big City", and "Move From The Hood". As on previous albums Allison maintains a kind of 70's funk vibe to some of his stuff, which works quite well. This was the album that put Allison back on the blues map in the U.S. as he went from playing clubs to theaters after this one came out. Great stuff!
