  1. Mose Allison, Mose Allison Sings, 1963 on Prestige

    Compilation of tracks from Allison's first albums which had been released on Prestige between 1957 and 1959. Though he was first known as a pianist, he gradually sang more and more. This was the first compilation in which he sang on every track. All were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, and Ira Gitler wrote the liner notes. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is a mid-sixties (c1965) reissue on dark blue Prestige labels. You can see how the laminated cover has started to […]

  6. Mose Allison, Your Mind is On Vacation, 1976 on Atlantic

    Allison's 10th record on Atlantic and 20th overall. Of course the rest of the title couplet is "but your mouth is working overtime." Great record, executive produced by Nesuhi Ertegun, with Jack Hannah (bass), Gerry Granelli (drums, Al Cohn & Joe Farrell (tenor sax), David Sanborn (alto sax), and Al Porcino (trumpet) - players vary by track. My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a Presswell pressing with a promotional sticker on Atlantic labels.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  22. Mose Allison - Creek Bank

    An older friend offered me some records she was going to toss, and this is one.

    Mose is mostly a pianist (on this record), but sings as well, and played with a lot of the greats. The Clash covered one of his songs.

    This 1958 Prestige recording was a year into his solo career, including Addison Farmer (bass, Art's twin brother), and Ronnie Free (drums), featuring some blues, swing, and hard bop.
