about
Blues with influences of Funk, Rock, Rhythm’n’Blues, and Soul. It's playing the descendants of the legendary musicians Allison and Burnside. Allison Burnside Express promises good, earthy blues and rock music. The name does not only allude to well-known blues musicians, but reveals Bernard Allison (guitar, vocals), the son of Luther Allison, and Cedric Burnside (guitar, vocals, drums), a grandson of RL Burnside, as performing artists. About Allison Burnside Express The Allison Burnside Express marks the first collaboration between two boundary-defying blues musicians from the USA, each of whom has successfully carried forth his respective family's musical tradition. The project is named after the two prominent artists who are its driving force: Bernard Allison (guitar, vocals) is the son of Luther Allison (1939-1997), who was famous for his rocking take on the blues, a style he originally honed backing up masters like Freddie King and Otis Rush; Cedric Burnside (guitar, vocals, drums) is the grandson of R. L. Burnside (1926-2005), whose extremely raw sound was influenced by John Lee Hooker, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters. As descendants and next-generation successors to these rich traditions, Bernard Allison and Cedric Burnside have teamed up to create a new kind of blues that references the work of their ancestors, but also incorporates elements of funk, R&B and soul music.
