"Regardless, anyone unfamiliar with Allison's often playful genius will understand his appeal after spending a few hours with this CD/DVD. And even those already hip to him will relish in these fresh interpretations of his universally appealing, if somewhat underappreciated work".

"Born in Tippo, Mississippiin 1927, the great jazzman Mose Allison's early musical career included playing across the South East and West for several years, honing his craft and style. In the 50s, he eventually moved to New York City, where he played with the likes of Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan and Zoot Sims, as well as fronting his own band.Though he'll forever be closely associated with jazz, Allison's work also shows a profound love and understanding of the blues ... This excellent album, the proceeds of which will go towards the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, has an impressive artistic line-up. The album'sroll-call and inspired performances speak volumes about the esteem in which Allison is held".

This tribute album captures the brilliance of his songwriting and introduces his music to a new generation of listeners. If You're Going to the City: A Tribute to Mose Allison will also drive listeners to find Mose Allison's recordings and to listen to the original versions of the songs".
