Our Take

"Mose Allison's 'Four Classic Albums Plus' is a delightful sonic journey through the jazz and blues landscape, replete with witty lyrics and effortless musicality. With a career spanning over five decades, Allison's prowess as a songwriter and pianist is on full display in this collection.

The first album, 'Back Country Suite,' kicks things off with a smooth blend of country-infused jazz that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Allison's distinctive vocals weave effortlessly through each track, showcasing his trademark wit and charm.

Moving on to 'Young Man Mose,' we are treated to a more introspective side of the artist, with poignant lyrics and haunting melodies that linger long after the final notes have faded. The stripped-down arrangements allow Allison's lyrical prowess to shine, making this album a standout in his discography.

Next up, 'Local Color' offers a diverse range of musical styles, from the rollicking piano work on 'City Home' to the soulful harmonica on 'Blues,' showcasing Allison's versatility as a musician. The seamless fusion of jazz, blues, and country influences creates a sound that is uniquely his own.

Rounding out the collection is 'Ramblin' with Mose,' a laid-back affair that feels like a lazy Sunday afternoon spent sipping whiskey on the front porch. Allison's easygoing vocals and infectious piano riffs make this album a joy to listen to from start to finish.

In conclusion, 'Four Classic Albums Plus' is a must-have for any fan of jazz or blues music, and a testament to Mose Allison's enduring talent and charm. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer day."
