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."
