Bernard Allison stepped out of the shadow of his father since long, the blues legend Luther Allison. Bernard Allison developed over the years his own unique sound, a rocking - funky interpretation of the blues.

In 1990, he presented with his furious album "The Next Generation" (Mondo Records),his musical abilities for the first time a broad audience. After different extensive tours in Europe more albums were released. 1999, two years after the death of his father, Bernard Allison decided to go from Paris back to the United States. With his explosive lead and slide guitar playing, his energetic voice and the stunning songwriting, he managed to pursue his career in the home country.

In recent years, Bernard Allison has toured almost constantly. His last album came 2007 on the market. "Chills & Thrills" and the name was program! From soulful ballads to relax on rainy days to piercing guitar crashing to the unravelling when one late night driving.

Two years later, the next stroke of genius follows: "The Otherside" will be released on 12th December 2009 in Germany. The album contains 13 songs, which demonstrate once again the bandwidth of Bernard Allison: This album has it all!

The instrumental opener "Send it" in shows, where it goes on this album: The Blue Funk by Bernard Allison from the "Chills & Thrills" album has a touch more blues and less funk, like the cover song "The way you treated me stressed ..." shows. The track "Tired of trying", written in conjunction with the tour guitarist Michael Goldsmith, is groovy and soulful like "As Simple as that." The title song "The Otherside" is building up wonderful on until the brilliant guitar solo slides in and "Slide Master" remains faithful to this line. "Allison Way" is a dirty Blues song and discusses the historical reasons for BA's musical path. "Still rainin 'shows the singing talent of keyboard player Bruce B. McCabe, " Leavin the Bayou" is going back to the roots of the blues. "Life Goes On" is a wonderful cooperation between Bernard Allison and Bruce B. McCabe and about Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" is nothing more to say than: Jimi would love it! "Clear Vision" is another homage to the blues. But a BA Cd would be no Bernard Allison album without a song of his father, Luther Allison. With "Let's try it again" Bernard is doing a deep bow before his father: "Although my father passed away, he has gone nowhere for me. He looks down at me every minute. He knew what my heart was and what I wanted to do. "

The new album "The Otherside" is a thoroughly enjoyable album in itself, which should inspire not only the inveterate fans!
