Luther Allison- Bloomington Closing- Early Version #1 (Bonus track from CD Reissue) From: Luther's Blues [Motown, 2001] As I was shuffling through CD's to play in my car the other day, I stumbled upon this Luther Allison reissue from 2001. Back when I was working at Music Millennium, I was turned on to countless blues artists by Bill Rhoades, the resident blues expert and finest harmonica play
