Local Color (Mose Allison album). Local Color is the second album by blues/jazz pianist and vocalist Mose Allison which was recorded in 1957 and released on the Prestige label. The album features the first recording of Allison's "Parchman Farm" which was later covered by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers on their album Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton

Local Color was Mose Allison's second of six Prestige recordings. Allison performs eight instrumentals in a trio with bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Nick Stabulas, displaying his unusual mixture of country blues and bebop, and even taking an effective trumpet solo on "Trouble in Mind. However, it is his vocals on "Lost Mind," and particularly the classic "Parchman Farm," that are most memorable.
