Synopsis

Album Description
Bernard Allison?s Fall 2005 European tour was an eye-opener. For years, he?s been taking his band to Europe, keeping his famous family name alive and delivering outstanding shows night after night ? and fans get what they expect from someone with the name Allison ? a rocking good time. But there was something special about this particular tour. There was an electricity about the band from the very first notes they played that said this is going to be one for the ages. The band, tighter than ever, exuded joy from start to finish ? they seemed to want to play forever. ENERGIZED documents one of the most formidable bands on the blues rock circuit at the height of their artistic powers. Recorded in October 2005 at The Musa in Gottingen, Germany, it is an explosive testimony to Allison?s artistry. The set features stand-out cuts from his most recent studio albums, like the crowd-pleasing "I Just Came Back To Say Goodbye" and the sensitive "The Way Love Was Meant To Be." Bernard shows his technical prowess on "The Walk" and "Wah Wah Action." And of course, he pays homage to his father with a number of Luther Allison songs. It?s the kind of stellar performance that keeps fans coming back year after year. ENERGIZED is a specially-priced 2 CD set. It is also available on DVD ? see Amazon?s DVD store for more info. The compact disc contains 2 extra songs not included on the DVD program.
 

CD Reviews

Nothing special
J. Warren Benton | Elizabeth city | 12/10/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I was a big fan of his father Luther, and loved all of his live stuff. This Cd is nothing special to me. It has some great tunes, but then has a few weak moments. It might be good to actually be there and see him play."
Studio work is better

"Hard as it is to believe, "Energized" is anything but. I own Higher Power and Storms of Life and recommend both highly. Energized contains stuff from the other two CDs but is vastly inferior. As with a lot of live performances the band members are given a lot of time to solo to the point where the listener who is not there gets bored. Don't buy this one. Buy the other two instead."
