"Let It Go shows Allison's mastery of the blues. Not only does he know the licks and the structures but he also knows how to assemble them together. He's created an album that manages to sound both modern and old; an album that sounds bluesy but not derivative. It's a beautiful work of art".

"Bernard Allison is as bad as his daddy. Luther laid it down hot and nasty with his Les Pauls and Strats, using his teeth as much as his hands to get his message across. Like his dad, Bernard is an Freddie King disciple. King's fiery licks flicker throughout Allison's riff catalog, scuttling along the fretboard as he reaches flameout territory ... It's good, solid work passed on from father to son, honored and honed to a brilliant shine".

"Bernard closes out this fine album with two of his father's songs; "You're Gonna Need Me" and "Castle". The latter appears on Luther Allison's 1994 Ruf Records recording "Hand Me Down My Moonshine". Bernard always pays tribute to his dad but make no mistake about it; Bernard is his own man. Check him out on this great new recording".
