"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana (1863-1952)

░░ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ░░
░░ ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Born in Chicago on November 26th, 1965, the youngest of nine children ░░
░░ Bernard Allison was first introduced to the roots of black music and ░░
░░ the art of the electric guitar by his father, the late great Luther ░░
░░ Allison. Bernard made his first appearance on record at age 13, when he ░░
░░ played on a live LP his father recorded in Peoria, IL. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ "I didn't start to play 'til I was maybe 10 years of age" Bernard ░░
░░ recalled "I picked up the guitar, listened to records. I was in grade ░░
░░ school and I played with the high school jazz band. They thought I was ░░
░░ reading the sheet music, but actually I was making up everything I ░░
░░ could play." ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Soon after graduating from High School, he began a three-year guitar ░░
░░ apprenticeship in Koko Taylor's high-flying Blues Machine. He also ░░
░░ played in the late Willie Dixon's Blues All-Stars and performed with ░░
░░ his Dad at the 1983 Blues Festival - one of the event's highlights. ░░
░░ Along the way, Bernard picked up slide guitar tips from Johnny Winter ░░
░░ and in the 80's also learned from the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ With those experiences under his belt, Bernard moved to Paris in 1989 ░░
░░ to live and play the blues with his father. He joined the tourband of ░░
░░ Luther Allison after a furious collaboration of "Father & Son" at the ░░
░░ '89 Chicago Blues Festival. A recording of this formation is to be ░░
░░ heard on the Luther Allison album "Let's Try It again" (RUF Records). ░░
░░ Bernard released his first solo album in 1990 with the significant ░░
░░ title "The Next Generation". In 1999, two years after Luther passed ░░
░░ away, Bernard decided to move back to the States to go back to his ░░
░░ roots and push his career in his native country. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Bernard seems to have inherited Luther's knack for igniting audiences, ░░
░░ but he's no clone of his famous father. He is definitely blazing his ░░
░░ own path with a style that reflects a unique mix of traditional and ░░
░░ modern influences. The Allison torch has been passed, and it's clear ░░
░░ that Bernard takes his role as its bearer very seriously. He's assumed ░░
░░ the challenge of keeping the blues alive and growing - a commitment he ░░
░░ renews every time he takes the stage. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ In 2004/2005, Bernard Allison released his 6th album on Ruf Records, ░░
░░ ôHigher Powerö. Whether you pay your respects to Bernard Allison as one ░░
░░ of the high powered blues guitarists in the world or you, like Bernard, ░░
░░ pay your respects to that Higher Power that guides you through life, ░░
░░ these are 13 songs Bernard sings that will speak to you. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Bernard totes the same smokinÆ six string shooter that his late father ░░
░░ Luther Allison assaulted the blues with. And he is blessed with his ░░
░░ fatherÆs soulful voice, spiritual devotion, and a musical freedom which ░░
░░ experiments with the blues. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ ôIn order for anything to expand, you have to take a risk,ö says ░░
░░ Bernard. ôBlues is about experimenting and getting your feelings across ░░
░░ to someone else. And if you want to keep it going, people are going to ░░
░░ have to give it all a chance because weÆre losing all our creators. ░░
░░ Because IÆve been taking risks on every album IÆve recorded, this ░░
░░ record is just a logical progression from everything else IÆve done. ░░
░░ Instead of playing rippinÆ 12 bar blues guitar over and over, there are ░░
░░ bluesy songs, soul, funk, R&B songs and a couple of rock things which ░░
░░ shows the overall musicianship of Bernard Allison.ö ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The major risk Bernard takes here is in his song writing, where he is ░░
░░ confident enough to strip away the layers and bare himself to the ░░
░░ world. It has taken Bernard a long time to feel free to talk or write a ░░
░░ song about whatÆs going on within him or his personal tragedies. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ After decades of chasing the muse, Bernard is now settled down raising ░░
░░ a family without the old personal vices. Thus the music heÆs written ░░
░░ speaks of the inner peace and companionship every human searches for. ░░
░░ The CD opens with BernardÆs trademark blues rock guitar, but it rocks ░░
░░ out with a moral. Therapists recommend getting problems out, instead of ░░
░░ concealing them. In the highly personal opening song ôIÆve Learned My ░░
░░ Lesson,ö Bernard sheds himself of any disguises and admits to the world ░░
░░ the inner personal problems that have held him back. That is until his ░░
░░ personal Higher Power delivered him safely to inner peace. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Other original songs like ôStay With Me Tonightö or ôNext To Youö speak ░░
░░ intimately about his love of the security of his family. While in other ░░
░░ songs like ôNew Life,ö Bernard goes even further by apologizing to ░░
░░ those heÆs hurt by word or deed. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ And thatÆs the magic power of the blues. If BernardÆs honesty touches ░░
░░ just one person with a similar struggles then the power of the blues ░░
░░ works. Then Bernard becomes the higher power by healing another ░░
░░ troubled soul. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ ôMusically and lyrically this is definitely a mature effort. IÆve been ░░
░░ through a lot since the passing of my father. IÆm married and I have ░░
░░ started my own family. This music comes from everyday responsibility ░░
░░ and lifestyle. IÆm calling the album Higher Power because there were ░░
░░ times when I had to pray to my own higher power to help me through. ░░
░░ Immediately after my fatherÆs death I was still touring, I wanted to ░░
░░ continue because that was what he wanted me to do. I feel that with his ░░
░░ presence, heÆs still, even today, with me everywhere I go, and the help ░░
░░ of my higher power, thereÆs no going wrong. That is the message in many ░░
░░ of these songs.ö ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Amid all the daily pop culture pressures to be the next American Idol ░░
░░ why does Bernard stay rooted in the blues? ôThe blues is my roots. ░░
░░ Regardless of how far outside of the blues I reach for tones, I canÆt ░░
░░ ever leave the blues. Whenever I play, all those guitar parts are ░░
░░ Luther Allison coming through me. My dad was the same way, he wasnÆt ░░
░░ all blues. He loved Otis Redding or Chuck Berry. IÆm just showing where ░░
░░ my influences come from. And respecting the people who got me to this ░░
░░ point. ░░
