"Reckless" would prove to be Allison's final album.  While on tour for this CD he developed a brain tumor and died only a few months later.  I saw him only a week or so before the tumor was discovered.  He played a 1500 seat sold out theater and did 3 hours non-stop.  It was possibly the best blues show I have ever witnessed as he was on fire all night.  I had tickets to see him again later in the summer, but unfortunately that show never happened.  The album itself is strong, but not quite as good as his previous effort.  This one has even more of a funky 70's vibe featured.  Allison tackles social issues more in this album with several tracks including "There Comes A Time", "Pain In The Streets", and "Will it ever change".  He also does a duet with his son Bernard (a great blues player in his own right) called "Playing A Loosing Game".  The album also includes a great version of "Living In The House Of The Blues".
