{"product_id":"luther-allison-bad-news-is-coming-lp-782026","title":"Luther Allison - Bad News Is Coming - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eLuther Allison’s 1972 album Bad News Is Comin’ captures his fiery Chicago blues style during his brief tenure with Motown’s Gordy label—one of the rare blues signings for the label. The record blends originals like the title track, co-written by Allison, with interpretations of standards such as \"The Little Red Rooster\" and \"Dust My Broom.\" Allison’s guitar work and vocal grit shine particularly on \"Evil Is Going On,\" reflecting his ability to balance raw emotion with precise musicianship. The album stakes a distinctive claim in blues history, standing out for its blend of traditional blues with the polished Motown production values, which is a bit like finding a rooster in a henhouse that’s learned to crow Motown style. This 1972 pressing on vinyl is a solid choice for collectors who want a clean presentation of Allison’s work from this period. The vinyl is glossy and very clean, with only minor, light surface marks that shouldn’t affect playback.
