The CD includes 11 Luther Allison standout songs, including "Cherry Red Wine," his 1996 award-winning Song of the Year, "Serious," "Will It Ever Change," "Move from the Hood," and "It Hurts Me Too." The DVD also includes bonus footage of an interview with Allison, as well as a documentary on his life.

For a man with only one month to live, Luther Allison showcases an amazing performance on Songs from the Road, with blistering guitar runs, passionate singing and amazing showmanship, demonstrating why to this day he is still one of the most beloved bluesmen of all time. Melding blues and gospel, with rock and soul, Luther Allison's music transcended boundaries – musical, sociological, and geographical – with an appeal that endeared him to audiences all over the world. The CD captures all the raw energy that made his shows so special; and the beautifully filmed DVD brings the audience right up on stage with the legend, as the beads of sweat drip from his head and collect on his guitar, right before your eyes.

Ruf Records President Thomas Ruf was a long-time friend of Luther's and this new release was a personal crusade of his to present to Allison's fans as a testament to the musician's powerful message. "The blues lost a true hero when he died," says Ruf in the package liner notes. "Luther had the unique ability to pull new fans in to the blues."
