Although it has its moments -- particularly on the title track -- Luther Allison's debut album, Love Me Mama, is on the whole uneven, featuring more mediocre tracks than killer cuts. Nevertheless, it offers intriguing glimpses of the style he would later develop. ---Thom Owens, AllMusic Review

Luther Allison was the most popular and critically acclaimed blues artist of 1996, winning 5 W.C. Handy Awards and Living Blues Awards for Blues Artist of the Year, Most Outstanding Guitarist, Best Live Performer, Best Album and Best Song. Allison is a member of the elite group of Chicago bluesmen who originated what has become known as the “West Side” sound. Recorded in 1969, Love Me Mama was Luther’s very first album and it outsold any other Delmark album issued by an artist not already established with an R&B single. ---delmark.com
