I Don't Worry About a Thing

"It comes from a saying Southern farmers use a lot," Allison explained of this 1962 set's title. "'I don't worry about a thing, because nothing's going to be all right.'" Swinging and wry as usual, the Mississippi-born singer-pianist divides his Atlantic debut between vocals and instrumentals, all made with minimal bass-and-drums backing. The entertainment factor wanders slightly on the wordless stuff, but thanks to songs such as "Your Mind Is on Vacation" and "It Didn't Work Out That Way," this is a good representation of Allison's style. --Rickey Wright

good to listen to.......2005-10-27

If you're not familiar with Mose Allison, this is a good place to start. The CD is actually two complete albums: a studio album (I Don't Worry About a Thing) and a live album (Mose Alive), recorded at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. Both albums feature Mose's subdued vocals, wacky lyrics, and superb piano playing.

The studio album has what is apparently Mose's most famous song, "Your Mind is on Vacation." Listening to the lyrics, you have to admire someone who writes a song poking fun at his own audience.

The live album has some great piano solos and a truly memorable performance of the classic "Parchman Farm." I prefer this album to the recently released "Mose Chronicles," although both are very, very good.
