February, 2020 | By Richard Ludmerer, Making a Scene
This newest release is a live CD/DVD recorded at the Musiktheater Piano in Dortmund, Germany on October 23rd, 2019. The CD was produced by Jim Gaines while the DVD is produced by Thomas Ruf. This raw live set captures the virtuosity of today’s dynamic Allison. While the DVD lets the viewer witness each bead of sweat from this master. Allison states “I actually prefer live performances because you can communicate and interact with the audience. I basically feed off of that energy, combined with my group’s talent and personalities.”
The band features Allison, guitar and vocals; Dylan Salfer, guitar; Jose Ned James, sax and percussion; and the rhythm section of George Moye, bass; and Mario Dawson, drums. Allison has improved as a songwriter and five songs are reprised from his last album. Included are “Night Train”; “Cruisin For A Bluesin”; “Same Ole Feeling”, “Backdoor Man” and the slow blues “You’re Gonna Need Me”. The soul dripping “Call Me Momma” first appeared on that last Jazzhaus recording. Allison always includes some of his father Luther’s songs and this time it’s “You’re Gonna Need Me” from 1979; and “Let’s Try It Again” from 1989.
