Album notes:

Otis Rush has always been held in the highest esteem by blues fans and his fellow musicians. It's almost 40 years since the release of his first record "I Can't Quit You Baby", but his remains one of the truly original and moving blues voices. Similarly, although Ike Turner played most of the lead guitar on the original recordings of "All Your Love" and "Double Trouble", Otis' own guitar playing is as distinctive as it is impressive.

In a long career dogged by ill health and misfortune, Otis has always overcome his troubles and returned from periods of inac¬tivity with his abilities undiminished, if not improved. That was certainly the case with his recent album, "Ain't Enough Comin' In", and the tour which supported it. At the 1995 Annual W.C. Handy Blues Awards, Otis was voted 'Contemporary Male Blues Artist Of The Year' and "Ain't Enough Comin' In" was 'Blues Song Of The Year'. It may seem that awards and rewards are coming to Otis rather late in his career but they can only revitalise a man who still faces challenges with the vigour of a man half his age. Like his contemporary, Buddy Guy, Otis is a highly-skilled interpreter of the blues. Neither man is a prolific songwriter but, as "Ain't Enough Comin' In" proved, when Otis puts his mind to it, he knows he can deliver.

His broad interest in music came from listening to the radio while he was growing up in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where he was born on April 29, 1934. His first love was the music of Eddy Arnold and Bob Wills. Later, he would find an affinity with the work of Charles Brown, Louis Jordan and Ray Charles.

Otis Rush & Friends 1986 Live At Montreux



Though he was born in the Mississippi delta, guitarist Otis Rush was most at home in the 1950s Chicago blues scene, where his deep, rich sound made him not only one of the premier players of his time, but a key influence on later British blues-rockers like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and John Mayall. Rush honors both traditions with this concert recorded at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1986, performing with his fellow Chicago bluesman Luther Allison and their mutual protégé Clapton for a stellar evening of red-hot electric blues.

There's no one quite like Otis Rush. Eric Clapton was instrumental in bringing Rush to Montreux in 1986. Rush coaxes, cajoles and sweet-talks those notes out of his beloved guitar. His singing is pure church...only with a lecherous edge, because you know what he's talkin' 'bout! The blues of this man will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Yet when he's joined onstage by Eric Clapton, "Slowhand" makes the entire chemistry of the band start to boil and bubble over. Three songs later, Clapton's rockin' - hard - and out comes another Chicago legend, Luther Allison. When Allison, Rush and Clapton all go upper-string wild simultaneously, all hell breaks loose and the crowd goes certifiably nuts. To see these three men, joyously young and in their 1986 prime, working out so strenuously, is to know the magic of the blues.

Otis Rush 1977 Live In Europe

Review by Cub Koda

Recorded in France back in 1977, this ten-song set finds Otis backed by strong trio support throughout in a delightfully engaged performance. Though several live albums exist on him, seldom has his declamatory vocals and stinging left-handed upside down guitar style been so well documented. Rush puts forth solo after solo, each with its own unique set of twists and turns, making this a veritable textbook of what he does best. Inspired listening and highly recommended.



Tracklist:

01 - Cut You Loose 06:10

02 - All Your Love 07:00

03 - You're Breaking My Heart 08:25

04 - I Wonder Why 08:44

05 - Feel So Bad 05:14

06 - Society Woman - Love Is Just A Gamble 07:41

07 - Crosscut Saw 04:59

08 - I Can't Quit You Baby 04:55

09 - I'm Tore Up 05:26

10 - Looking Back 05:38
