Blues Travels Fast

Description

Michael Sean Allman is the first-born son of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Gregg Allman (founding member of the Allman Brothers Band). Michael Allman was born on July 3, 1966. He was raised in Daytona Beach, Florida. His parents, Gregg Allman (legendary musician) and go-go dancer Mary Lynn Sutton met at Daytona Beach, Florida. Blues Travels Fast is Michael's second album. The european version on JukeJoint500 will feature one bonustrack. The vinyl is exclusive to JukeJoint500. Blues Travels Fast is a mature southern rock album that draws on the usual influences of the genre - blues, country, gospel - but Michael Allman has managed to create a varied and independent album. Rich guitar work supporting the song, a rock-solid bass/drums foundation, a Hammond B3 for the classic flavor and gospel singers provide the southern gospel background. Crunchy rockers like the title track or Goin? Back To Daytona alternate with ballads like Rosehill. The latter pays homage to the Allman Brothers Band, who had their picture taken at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, and it was there that Dickey Betts found the inspiration for ?In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed?. The Midnight Blues is of course bluesy, the Brown Liquor Blues surprises with a honky tonk piano and with Don Nix's Black Cat Moan they skillfully cover a forgotten jewel. Feeling So Bad a duet with Schascle Yochim is classic Southern Soul that could have appeared on Stax in the 70s. There is also a bonus track for the European JukeJoint500 version with A Mule Named Whiskey. Finally, the classic LP-length album ends with the acoustic Sun Don't Shine. Michael Allman pulls out all the stops on Blues Travels Fast without copying either his father or other Southern rock greats.
