“Love Me Mama” is the debut album by the American blues
musician Luther Allison recorded in Chicago in 1969 and released by the Delmark
label.
AllMusic reviewer Thom Owens stated "Although it has its moments --
particularly on the title track -- Luther Allison's debut album, “Love Me Mama”,
is on the whole uneven, featuring more mediocre tracks than killer cuts.
Nevertheless, it offers intriguing glimpses of the style he would later
develop".
“Love Me Mama” este albumul de debut al muzicianului American
de blues Luther Allison, inregistrat in Chicago in 1969 si lansat de catre
marca Delmark.
Criticul Thom Owens de la AllMusic a statuat:”Desi are momentele sale—mai alela
piesa de titlu—albumul de debut al lui Luther Allison “Love Me Mama” este
inegal in totalitatea sa, prezentand mai multe piese mediocre decat cele de
calitate. Cu toate acestea el ofera perspective intrigante ale stilului pe care
si-l poate dezvolta ulterior”.
