Luther Allison - Move from the hood/Watching you

[arjhendrix]

"Leave your ego,

play the music,

love the people"

-- Luther Allison

[19blues64]

to Usurped: Great versions of these two songs on Luthers' "Live in Chicago" CD... Watching you is titled Cherry Red Wine on most of his releases in the US...

[buzz834]

Great stuff Thanks******

[Usurped]

Is this on any album please?

[Usurped]

Fantastic! Thanks!

[rosesredvioletsblue]

this is the blues!!!! ty for the post.

[deepend420]

Smokin'!!! Luther is one of the all time greats, this here is proof of that! To zeppelin2392: that is pure tone fool, more than you'll ever get out of your boutique amp and pedal board full of over priced, hand-wired tone suckers. P90's thru an old (tweed?) Fender, in the hands of a master...

[disolove]

What a bluesman!

[zeppelin2392]

WHY NO APPLAUSE!?!

[abadon12]

i never saw him live I regret this

[beautifuldaymusic]

King of the blues; Luther Allison!!!

[dothedewupurs]

This man's soul pouring out of that Les Paul

[senaldehumo]

leave your ego, play the music and love the people, el gran bluesman

[fofoletta]

Luther tem o blues no sangue...eu te amo!

[williebrown01]

Anyone know what kind of amp this cat is using? Sounds like a Twin ........ but not.

[dojaboy23]

The man had more feeling in his little finger then anyone out there today. Thank you Lord for LUTHER!!!

[reneask79]

I agree. The younger generation doesent seem to have much substance in their work sadly. Maybe Lucky Peterson as an exception

[zeppelin2392]

hes pretty good, has no tone tho

[guymath]

I would strongly disagree with this statement, blues performers in particular (of all ages) have a lot of substance to their work and Lucky Peterson isn't that young.

[bnapoleonc123]

I disagree. Guys like John Mayer don't, but there are a lot of young blues players out there doing the hard yards and paying their dues in bars and pibs and taverns, look beyond the stuff on the radio and you will find gems. We are a dying breed maybe, but we are still there, and ther are some awesome young players who simply don;t get the attention they deserve. Long live the Blues!

[4fingersinge]

You know what burns my ass? The great musicians like luther only had a couple of shirts to wear on stage, they played for the love of it. Now, these no talent punks are being paid ridiculous somes of money for what? GET WITH IT YOUNG PEOPLE! The Blues is an original American Art Form. Open your mind and open you ears! I feel better now. LOL

[bnapoleonc123]

I think i;lls econd that lol. But as I said, there are young guys out there doing it, doing the hard yards, but they face disadvantages some of which are like the orignial bluesmen such as lack ofm public acknowledgment. In this day and age also an unappreciative audience, raised on MTV and video hits, whose musical knwoldege and pedigree extends back to 1980 at best, but most never would have heard of even SRV. Certainly is th case here in Australia anyway.

[sleeplessintokyo]

RIP LA

[goccia2a]

J'écoutais encore ce matin "castle",et "good morning love", extraits de "hand me down my moonshine", et je repensais à ma rencontre avec MONSIEUR Luther, je peux vous dire que cet homme était un GRAND parmi les grands! Je l'ai rencontré en 1985 -je crois- lors d'un concert au "Plan" à Ris-Orangis, France, et c'était formidable! Il était simple, souriant, abordable, et j'aurais aimé oser lui prendre un peu plus de temps...je suis sûre qu'il me l'aurait accordé!

[chiknfulio]

The second song is acctually called Cherry Red Wine, not Watching You

[sleeplessintokyo]

thanks great to c L.A. real fans around.

[chiknfulio]

Right on man. He was a real gem. Rest in Peace
