Luther Allison

“Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues.”

“In the blues, it just takes so long for us to get recognized.”

“Me being a skinny guy, I could crawl into the steel pit.”

“I mean, look how many musicians have come through and played beside me, and I'm workin' and they're not.”

“I want people to recognize Luther Allison when I play.”

“I look in music magazines now and see things on Luther Allison, and my name's getting out there more, thanks to all the good people at Alligator Records and at my management company.”

“But I never had that commercial opportunity to be played on the radio, so how could I be popular?”

“But there was not a job that could say that Luther Allison didn't do his job.”

“But let's face it, I still have to look at my self and look at the things I've done down the stretch.”
