180g LP"

Mississippi Delta pianist and singer/songwriter Mose Allison may not be a household name for many, but his songs have been covered and admired by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Van Morrison, The Who, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Eric Clapton, and Bonnie Raitt, to name just a few. His debut album, Back Country Suite draws on his upbringing in rural Mississippi. It fuses rural blues / jazz with modern classical composition, and wordsmithing that is second to none. It was released to massive critical acclaim in 1957. ""
