‘Complete 1957 – 1962 Vocal Sides’ includes all of Allison’s vocal Jazz performances from his early years. Among the rarities presented here is an alternative take of ‘I Love The Live I Live’ and three brilliant bonus tracks. This release contains pianist/singer/composer/trumpeter Mose Allison’s complete vocal tracks from his recording debut as a singer in 1957 up to 1962, across 2CDs. Includes 3 bonus tracks + a 12-page booklet. Born in 1927 and deceased on November 15, 2016 at the age of 89, Allison has been described as one of the finest songwriters in 20th-century blues.
A highly influential composer, his songs have been recorded by numerous artists, including Pete Townshend, who cut Mose’s „Young Man’s Blues” for The Who’s Live at Leeds album in 1970. John Mayall was one of dozens of musicians who recorded Allison’s classic „Parchman Farm”, and Georgie Fame also performed many of his songs. Leon Russell („I’m Smashed”) and Bonnie Raitt („Everybody’s Crying’ Mercy”) also cut popular versions of Allison’s tunes. Among the rarities presented here is an alternative take of „I Love the Life I Live” (issued only in the UK on an EP). Three brilliant instrumental sides from the same sessions have been added as a bonus.
