Rest In Peace, Mose Allison. Allison was a great pianist who blurred the line between jazz and blues. To honor his legacy, yours truly found a copy I had of his "Greatest Hits" record. This one is highly recommended if you are a jazz or blues fan. The music on the record was recorded in a period of time between March 7th, 1957, and February 13th, 1959. This particular recording was done on the Prestige label and remastered in 1988. The track listing is:
1. The Seventh Son
2. Eyesight To The Blind
3. Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me
4. Lost Mind
5. I've Got A Right To Cry
6. Baby, Let Me Hold Your Hand
7. Parchman Farm
8. If You Live
9. Don't Get Around Much Anymore
10. One Room Country Shack
11. I Hadn't Anyone Till You
12. Young Man's Blues
13. That's All Right
14. Blueberry Hill
15. Trouble In Mind
16. Creek Bank
