Hear Iggy Pop and Frank Black cover jazz great Mose Allison for a new tribute album
marked what would have been Mose Allison’s 92nd birthday with unique takes on two tracks by jazz-blues great, “If You’re going to the City” and “Numbers on Paper.”out November 29th via Fat Possum.
On his rendition of the tribute album’s title track, Iggy Pop puts a delightfully goofy spin on Allison’s. The brassy flourishes from the original are still there — if not slightly amped up — but instead of a rollicking piano boogie, the song boasts a synth-bass groove that bends and stretches the song in fascinating ways as Iggy Pop drawls, “If you’re going to the city/There’s one thing I hope/Don’t take money from a woman or mess around with dope.
“Both musically and lyrically Mose is more grounded than most, and, at the same time, existentially beyond everything else out there,” Black said in a statement. “‘Numbers On Paper’ is a relevant song to humanity at whatever point in the time space continuum, or ‘spime’ as Mose says, that you want to place that song. It’s classic Mose, funny and heavy.”will feature contributions from Taj Mahal, Jackson Browne, Chrissie Hynde, Bonnie Raitt, Loudon Wainwright III and Richard Thompson.
