This is way out of my price range, but if you're a fan of moderately heavy, relatively recent (i.e. not classic 40's-early 60's) electric blues & haven't checked out Allison, it's definitely worth a listen.

More blues than rock, though very much on the heavy side of blues.

I'm a huge Luther Allison fan and have all but one or two of his CDs. If there's any unreleased stuff on it I might go for it if the price drops to the $90 to $95 range , but no way would I pay the $125. I rarely watch the DVDs so it's all about the CDs to me. He was a very underrated blues singer / guitarist who should have been much bigger than he was.

I was fortunate to see him live in the 90's.

Amazon now has the full packshot for A Legend Never Dies, which I've added to the opening post. This box has also had a price drop and is currently pre-orderable for $109.99:
