Lucky Peterson - The Son of a Bluesman (2014) Lossless

A native of Buffalo in the state of New York, this singer, guitarist and organ player is one of the most authentic legatees of blues today; he knows of its forefathers and their oral tradition, respects its history and its legacy and knows how to play and sing it like nobody else, with his booming voice brimming with emotion. Mixing original compositions and inspired covers (of Bobby Blue Bland, Wilson Pickett and even Johnny Nash), he brings us an album on which poetry, dark thoughts and hope combine with an insuppressible groove.With these eleven tracks forged in a furnace of fiery soul and rhythm n blues, giving off the odd spark of gospel and rock n roll, Lucky Peterson isn t just making his big comeback. He s putting blues, the oldest form of black American music, back on the forefront of the stage.
