Our Take

Ah, Mose Allison. The smooth, the witty, the cool. This collection of tunes from the years 1956-1962 is a delightful trip down memory lane, full of that signature Mose charm.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New Orleans, sipping on a whiskey sour and nodding your head along to the infectious rhythms. Allison's distinctive voice cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter, drawing you in with its effortless charisma.

Tracks like "Parchman Farm" and "Your Mind is on Vacation" showcase Allison's clever lyricism and playful delivery, while instrumental cuts like "Promenade" highlight his masterful piano skills. Each song is like a little gem, shining brightly in a sea of mediocrity.

But it's not all smooth sailing. Some tracks can feel a bit repetitive, and the overall sound can start to blend together after a while. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar collection.

In conclusion, The Mose Allison Collection 1956-1962 is a must-have for any fan of jazz or blues music. So pour yourself a drink, sit back, and let Mose take you on a journey through the sounds of yesteryear. Cheers, darling.
