Dave Allen - Color Blind (2012)

In the most recent edition of The All Music Definitive Guide to the Blues, music critic Stewart Mason describes Color Blind by Dave Allen “The Man” as “a surprisingly enjoyable slab of unpretentious Texas blues-rock…solid, rocking blues well worth seeking out by any fans of early Johnny Winter or the like.” Color Blind was Dave’s finest achievement and his most fully realized work, a cohesive album of all original songs featuring guitar lines that can easily stand alongside those of any blues legend one cares to name, with the blood-chilling vocals to match. Although not without its significant up-tempo moments, Color Blind is primarily a raw, incandescent glimpse into the heart of a genuine bluesman, and a foreshadowing of the events that would eventually overtake that man’s life. Black, white, Mississippi, Chicago or Texas—in the end and after the end, Dave Allen’s music speaks for itself.
