Soul Fixin' Man

Luther Allison returned to prominence with Soul Fixin' Man in 1994, his first album recorded on American soil in 18 years and a fine example of the proto-blues-rock sound he helped invent along with Freddie King and Magic Sam. Cut in Memphis with producer Jim Gaines (Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan), the recording has a sumptuous sound fattened by Ernest Williamson's B-3 organ, James Solberg's chunky rhythm guitar, and the Memphis Horns. Riding above these thickened grooves are Allison's gruff, strong tenor and his melodic guitar lines. Allison wrote or cowrote eight of the dozen songs. Some of them, like the catchy "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is," recall his soul-blues fusion albums for Motown in the early-'70s, but the best numbers, like the autobiographical title track, are blues in the tradition of the Kings--B.B. and Freddie. --Geoffrey Himes
