Blue-eyed Jazz and Blues singer/songwriter Mose Allison was a huge influence on many UK bands in the early 1960s as well as a swathe of nascent Mods looking for the new cool. The collision of a Blues upbringing in Mississippi with Jazz piano and New Orleans influences as well as a distinctive vocal marks him out. This 24 track collection gathers his best works from a 14 year period and includes the pacey ‘I’m Not Talking’, the full on ‘If You Only Knew’, the creeping ‘If You Live’ and ‘Your Mind Is On Vacation’ among others.
