Synopsis

Amazon.com

Continuing in the same vein as 1998's Move, the multitalented Lucky Peterson delivers some tasty, soul-flavored contemporary blues on this self-titled album. Like Move, Lucky Peterson has a strong 1970s vibe; maybe it's the Hammond organ or maybe it's the funk rhythm he uses to such great effect on "Deal with It" and "She's Giving Me the Blues." The soul comes to the forefront on the ballads, though, as on "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Ta' Ta' You," and especially on the sad, sweet "Ask Me Nothing 'Bout the Blues." This is the perfect autumn album, especially on those gray, cloudy mornings when you just want to stay in bed. Lucky Peterson won't make getting up any easier, but at least you'll know that somebody sympathizes. --Genevieve Williams

CD Reviews

Soulful Funky Bluesy American Music

Daniel G. Helton | Detroit, Michigan | 06/01/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Buy this CD. This is a very good album featuring what can only be called American Music, since the blues, funk, soul or any other label you try to put on it is too confining. Great Hammond B-3 work, great funk and blues guitar. Excellent song selection. If I have any criticism with this album it is with Lucky's failure to learn the lyrics before committing them to disk. For example, with Lucky the Deadric Malone song, "Ask Me Nothing But About the Blues," becomes "Ask Me Nothing About The Blues." Totally different meanings (and I don't believe an intended change). Joe Louis Walker gets into the act on the Willie Nelson number, "Funny How Time Slips Away." Neither Lucky nor JLW can get the lyrics straight on that piece. And don't even get me started on Lucky's treatment of Sam Cooke's "Shake." This is a very minor critism, however, since Lucky's voice is wonderful. Just forget that (if) you know the words to some of the songs and buy this CD."
