 Living in the house of the blues  - Luther Allison

Whoa, when I woke up this mornin'
I had my head layin' in my hand
Ooh, when I woke up this mornin'
I had my head layin' in my hand
I can't go on givin'
If I'm livin' in the house of the blues

Lord, I had a fever
My body cold and wrecked with pain
Yes, I had such a fever
Felt like I was goin' up in flame
If I don't get my baby back
I know I'm never gonna be the same

She told me she loved me
And I just laughed and played the fool
Whoa, I thought she was crazy
And I thought I was cool
But oh, but the lesson I learned
It's time for me to go back to another school

Listen to me, baby
Hear every word I said
I need you here beside me
'Cause without it, I'd be dead

I done lost everything
Everything a man can lose
I can't go on givin'
Still in the house of the blues

She told me that she loved me
But I just laughed and played the fool
I thought she was crazy
And I thought that I was bein' cool
Well, I can't go on givin'
If I'm livin' in the house of the blues

Alright

  

 

 

루더 앨리슨은 시카고 블루스 기타리스트지만 그 음악 스타일을 따져 간다면

R&B, 소울, 레게, 펑키(Funky), 재즈 등 여러 스타일들이 혼합되어 있는 것이다.

 50년대만 해도 그는 블루스와 재즈가 결합된 전형적인 기타를 추구했으나

60년대에 지미 헨드릭스의 연주를 접하곤 너무 큰 충격을 받아 헨드릭스적인 강렬한 색채의 기타세계를 보이기도 했다.

 하지만 그는 일반적인 시카고 블루스 스타일을 대표하는 연주자로 자신의 생애 대부분을 보냈다.
