Music reviews of Serious
Music Review: Serious, aka Life Is A Bitch (in Europe)
Rating: 5 Stars
My first Luther Allison record was an impulse buy...saw it in a record bin in a little shop in the Old Port section of Portland, Maine...and it got me. The thumping shuffle of "Backtrack" got me going, with Allison's gravelly vocals and killer slide guitar.
A record that I played a lot, then eventually snagged an import CD in Canada about 11 years ago. Lot of great songs, "Life Is A Bitch" is definitely the blues, subject matter that tells you how it is, and deal with it.
"Parking Lot" was more of a rock song for me, but it was alright, and the import bonus track "Funky T-Shirt" was another good one.
Allison showed throughout his career he could play just about anything, and I think he worked hard to capture his live show on record. Sorry I never got to see him. Whichever version you have of this recording, it's a damn fine one.
