Soulful Funky Bluesy American Music, June 1, 2000
This review is from: Lucky Peterson (Audio CD)
Buy this CD. This is a very good album featuring what can only be called American Music, since the blues, funk, soul or any other label you try to put on it is too confining. Great Hammond B-3 work, great funk and blues guitar. Excellent song selection. If I have any criticism with this album it is with Lucky's failure to learn the lyrics before committing them to disk. For example, with Lucky the Deadric Malone song, "Ask Me Nothing But About the Blues," becomes "Ask Me Nothing About The Blues." Totally different meanings (and I don't believe an intended change). Joe Louis Walker gets into the act on the Willie Nelson number, "Funny How Time Slips Away." Neither Lucky nor JLW can get the lyrics straight on that piece. And don't even get me started on Lucky's treatment of Sam Cooke's "Shake." This is a very minor critism, however, since Lucky's voice is wonderful. Just forget that (if) you know the words to some of the songs and buy this CD.
