Lucky Peterson calls his new album The Son of a Bluesman — as indeed he is. Lucky is the son of bluesman and (Buffalo nightclub owner) James Peterson.

Counting his first album — Our Future: 5 Year Old Lucky Peterson — The Son of a Bluesman is Lucky's 18th album as a leader. And, as one expects from any Lucky Peterson album nowadays, the newest album is characterized by his lightning-flashing guitar, his earth-rumbling organ, and his gospel-deep voice.

Highlights include covers of hits by Bobby Bland ("I Pity The Fool") and Johnny Nash ("I Can See Clearly Now"). His trip on Wilson Pickett's "Funky Broadway" features a rap — Old School storytelling rap, like Lou Rawls and Ruth Brown. "You Lucky Dog" is a Lucky signature, a rocking instrumental that blows the roof off. And his song "I'm Still Here" is a prayer thanking God for the joy of being enabled to play blues for almost 50 years. ~Michael Bourne
