Bernard Allison's latest, KENTUCKY FRIED BLUES recorded live at the 1998 WC Handy Festival in Henderson, Kentucky. Allison demonstrates his untimely death in 1997, Bernard's father Luther was revered as a live performer par excellence. The younger Allison is conscious of his name and is proud to have taken over the family business. He dives headlong into the instrumental opener "Buz Me" and the high-octane funk of "Going Down" before finally coming up for air on "Bad Love" - one of a trio of Luther Allison songs at the heart of this hour-long set.
