Search - Mose Allison :: I Don't Worry About a Thing

"It comes from a saying Southern farmers use a lot," Allison explained of this 1962 set's title. "'I don't worry about a thing, because nothing's going to be all right.'" Swinging and wry as usual, the Mississippi-born singer-pianist divides his Atlantic debut between vocals and instrumentals, all made with minimal bass-and-drums backing. The entertainment factor wanders slightly on the wordless stuff, but thanks to songs such as "Your Mind Is on Vacation" and "It Didn't Work Out That Way," this is a good representation of Allison's style. --Rickey Wright
