• Lucky Peterson - blues singer, keyboardist & guitarist - was discovered by blues legend Willie Dixon when he was 3 years old, released his first record at 5 and soon after appeared on US television. Trained by keyboardists Bill Doggett and Jimmy Smith, Peterson went on to play behind Little Milton, Bobby “Blue” Bland and Kenny Neal. He signed recorded for Alligator, Verve, Blue Thumb and Birdology/Dreyfus Jazz, where he recorded what many call his finest album, “Black Midnight Sun”, in 2003.
• “You Can Always Turn Around” is his first album in seven years, following personal problems and a successful drug rehabilitation programme. It’s an uplifting collection of songs that speak of struggles and salvation, using the gritty clarity of acoustic roots-blues (with modern touches) as its main musical vehicle - and features songs by Robert Johnson, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell, Tom Waits, Ray LaMontagne and Lucinda Williams.
• The album was made in the Catskills with master Woodstock musicians Larry Campbell, guitar (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm); Scott Petito, bass (The Fugs, Mercury Rev, Rick Danko Band) and Gary Burke, drums (Joe Jackson, Shania Twain). Peterson delivers fine vocals and, as usual, plays a mix of instruments (duolian resonator, piano and acoustic and electric guitars. On acoustic piano, Lucky sounds like a bluesy Leon Russell.
• Peterson continues to tour, doing dates big and small. This new album should increase awareness of and demand for this one-of-a-kind musician. |
