This 1987 recording marked the beginning of a more rock-oriented approach for the singer-guitarist, which certainly contributed to Allison's rise in prominence, a climb that continued until his death in 1997. Serious is a bundle of barely restrained energy, from the opening chords of the stomping shuffle \"Backtrack\" to the wry \"We're on the Road.\" \"Life is a Bitch\" is straight-up rock \u0026amp; roll, and \"Parking Lot\" crunches and burns all the way through. But Allison was also capable of a tender moment or two, and \"Reaching Out\" edges all the way into soul. \"Just Memories\" contains real sweetness, and \"Show Me a Reason\" is tightly wound from its slow-burning opening to its rock-out finish. Serious is often underrated, possibly because of its rock \u0026amp; roll overtones, but its energy and enthusiasm make it required listening for Allison aficionados. --Genevieve Williams\n\nProduct Description\n\nBlues singer, guitarist \u0026amp; songwriter blends blues \u0026amp; soul, described as a mix of James Brown, Albert King \u0026amp; Jimi Hendrix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 019148228726\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0019148228726\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 1983452\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46342908707075,"sku":"HW-28NA-TB2P","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51a1CmA_qbL.jpg?v=1737671374","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/serious-1","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
