A legend never dies : essential recordings 1976-1997

"An exceptional, relentlessly impassioned singer-guitarist who wrote his own songs, Allison already had a name from the albums he'd released since 1969, including three as Motown's first blues signing. After moving to France in 1983, his recording career took off, boosted by his agent starting Ruf Records to release him, and organising his return to the US to record 1993's Bad Love, 1996's Blue Streak and 1997's sublime finale Reckless. They join 1992's riveting unplugged peak, Hand Me Down My Moonshine, and others in this handsome box set marking the 20th anniversary of his death from cancer in 1997".
