Creek Bank


Creek Bank is the fourth album to be released by blues/jazz pianist and vocalist Mose Allison which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Prestige label.

Reception

, in his review for Allmusic, says it is his "typically ironic vocals that are most memorable, particularly Allison's classic "The Seventh Son" and "If You Live." His piano playing, even with the Bud Powell influence, was beginning to become original and he successfully performs both revived swing songs and moody originals".
