As one of the most dynamic performers on the music scene today, Lucky Peterson takes another step towards capturing his amazing on-stage energy with his Blue Thumb debut. An astonishing guitar player, one of the finest Hammond B-3 organists around, and a soul shouter par excellance, Lucky combine all of these talents to stunning effect on this well-rounded set, simply titled Lucky Peterson.
Lucky Peterson's soul-infused blues sound is a gritty amalgam of his many influences - from gospel to country to funk and R&B. Some of the album's highlights include the sultry shuffle of "Seduction," the suggestive, Ray Charles-meets-B.B. King "Ta' Ta' You," a remarkable duet with labelmate Joe Louis Walker handling vocals on Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away," and the album closer, a sly instrumental arrangement of Bobby Gentry's '60s classic, "Ode to Billy Joe."
Lucky Peterson will hit the road this fall and, as the old saying goes, "seeing is believing" - be sure to check him out. In the meantime, get on your blues shoes and move to the soulful stirrings of Lucky Peterson.
The Session
With Double Dealin’, his second release on the Blue Thumb label, Producer John Porter (B. B. King, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Smith’s Dot Com Blues) has captured all the energy of Lucky’s electrifying and legendary stage performances on a studio recording. The result is the best album of Lucky’s career and one of the most exciting blues discs in years!
