MOSE ALLISON: The Way of the World Anti-, 2010 JAZZ/BLUES – A true American original (now in his 80s), the brilliant singer/songwriter Mose Allison returns to the studio for the first time in over a decade and shows his unique blend of swinging jazz, old-school blues, and wry social commentary remains undimmed. Great new tunes rendered in his inimitable style: funny, thought-provoking, classic. * * * * * | Try any track! Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 1. 2:59 – humorous tune about aging, a takeoff on Little Walter’s “My Babe” 2. 3:29 – easy tempo old-time thump, back-porch feel and pure Mose lyrics 3. 2:58 – cute, silly love song, sort of a waltz with a loose, tipsy sound 4. 2:31 – moody and slow, great atmospheric percussion, serious lyrics 5. 2:29 – humorous solo ditty: let’s give religion a rest for a while 6. 2:55 – jazz instrumental: lopsided intro, then a chugging machine 7. 2:49 – Roosevelt Sykes country blues stomp, great lyrics, nice solo breaks 8. 2:50 – relaxed, bluesy ballad; truth-telling lyrics and lumpy shuffle rhythm 9. 3:20 – easy swinging tune, live-and-let-live lyrics, breezy sax 10. 3:32 – standard ballad, has an endearing goofiness when Mose sings it 11. 3:12 – Loudon Wainwright II breakup song: a lazy, sassy stomp 12. 2:08 – odd vocal duet with nasal-voiced Amy Allison [ Fo ] 03/28/10 | ||
