The incomparable and profoundly influential pianist/singer-songwriter Mose Allison – who’s inspired everyone from Georgie Fame, The Who and The Clash to Van Morrison and Pixies – developed his own unique, idiosyncratic style that melded an ironic sense of wit and humor with country-blues inflections and a bebop-esque vocabulary. Besides cool playing and his uniquely smoky singing, he also happens to have great taste in material. "Hey Good Lookin'" fits right in with revisited versions of "I Love the Life I Live," "I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Baby Please Don't Go," complete with what the singer himself calls his distinctive 'involuntary groan' during the piano solo. To top it off, Teo Macero's intimate production makes it feel like you're right there in the studio!
