It's a rare thing to find a Blues Artist who can deliver top notch performances both vocally and with an instrument, in this case a wailing guitar, but that's what Luther Allison was all about. He was a soulful, gritty singer that could rip out a gutsy,rocking blues vocal performance and just as easily deliver a smooth, laid back song with feeling. Luther does both on Reckless, but the listener is never bored. Each song is delivered with the message that Luther means what he is singing. Oh yeah, and let's not forget that fantastic guitar work that first got me hooked on his music. He comes out ripping on Low Down and Dirty and from the first solo to the end you are at his command. The CD doesn't let up from there and I honestly think it is difficult to pick one or two highlights, because there are no clunkers. Luther's guitar almost seems like an extension of his voice as he rips out riffs that complement his singing throughout. He also doesn't fall into that trap of only knowing three riffs like some Blues guitarists. He showed a dynamic range on this CD that only made his death harder to take, because you were left looking forward to the next one. Buy this and any other Luther Allison CD you can get your hands on!
