I’m Ready is Lucky Petersons most bluesy and arguably one of his most accomplished records, the first in the series on Verve after leaving Alligator Records. Recorded in 1992 and produced by John Snyder, the album brings a decidedly modern twist to blues standards such as Muddy Waters “Im Ready”, Willie Dixons “You Shook Me”, Little Walters “It Aint Right” and Howlin Wolfs “Whos Been Talking”. They blend happily with Petersons original compositions such as “Junk yard”, “Tribute to the king”, “Nothing but smoke” or “Spankin leroy”. On Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond organ, guitar and vocals, this versatile and gifted musician is at his prime here. This 140-gram vinyl is the first international vinyl reissue, pressed at Optimal, and is presented in a wide-spine, single-sleeve jacket. – 1 – 1. Im Ready 2. It Aint Right 3. You Shook Me 4.
