Allison's blend of jazz and blues creates a distinctive sound, supported by strong storytelling and musicianship.
What we noticed
- The album opens with a title track that features a lively piano riff, setting an upbeat tone that persists through the first half.
- Allison's vocal delivery often includes spoken word elements, blending storytelling with musical phrasing in tracks like 'No Trouble Livin'' and 'What's With You'.
- Several tracks incorporate jazz-inspired improvisation, particularly in the piano solos, which contrast with the more structured blues elements.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
