Notes: Luther Allison was born 17 August 1939, Arkansas, (the 14th of 15 musically gifted children) and first connected to the blues at age ten, when he began playing the diddley bow (a wire attached by nails to a wall with rocks for bridges and a bottle to fret the wire). His family migrated to Chicago in 1951, and Luther began soaking in the sounds of Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Robert Nighthawk. He was classmates with Muddy Waters' son and occasionally stopped in the Waters' house to watch the master rehearse. It wasn't until he was 18 already in Chicago for seven years that Luther began playing blues on a real guitar. By 1957, Allison had dropped out of school and formed a band called "The Rolling Stones". Unhappy with the name, they became "The Four Jivers"!! His career was cruelly cut short when in July 1997 he was diagnosed as having lung cancer; tragically, just over a month later, he died, on August 12, 1997. This is supposedly one of (if not "the") last live show he performed. Luther Allison has been called "one of the greatest bluesmen of his generation... a fluid guitarist with a biting tone and a vocalist of feral power" and "a passionate shouter and ferocious guitarist". This is a great historic blues show. Thanks Alan
