Bernard Allison

Critics seldom agree upon anything so much as they do with Bernard Allison. The son of the blues legend Luther Allison is regarded as one of the most important and creative representatives of 21st century blues. This live concert was recorded in August 1999 at the W.C. Handy Festival in Henderson, Kentucky.

Documenting Bernard Allison's blues-rock band at the height of their prodigious powers (during Allison's 2005 European tour), this 14-song concert video delivers the goods. With tunes by turns languid and rollicking -- and with a definite penchant for hard rock riffs --Allison and band mates rip (or meander) through such crowd favorites as "I Just Came Back to Say Goodbye" and "The Way Love Was Meant to Be."
