This is splendid stuff from begining to end - sheer class!

If you have listened to Otis Rush's seminal Cobra recordings and wondered if he ever recorded anything to equal those early sides I suggest that you give this one a go.

Where the Cobra sides were raw and primitive, this is more slick, soulful and smooth. Fear not though! Otis' powerful blues voice still sends a chill and his guitar still cuts and stings like a whip. In places he sounds a lot like top drawer Albert King (both singing and playing) and that just can't be bad can it?

Right from the opening cut through to the end the quality never lets up, some of the tracks are quite long and Otis gets to stretch out his great lead lines. He covers classic songs from other bluesmen on this outing instead of reheating his own numbers. 'Little Red Rooster' is welded to the riff of BB's 'Rock me Baby' and it works just fine.

This is a class blues album from a great player and singer who really influenced a lot of the British Blues Boom players and never got the payback he rated. Much better than the rather flat 'Door to Door' set on Charley. Also check out the Cobra stuff and also have a listen to Magic Sam's two Delmark albums, he was a contempory of Otis and another bluesman with a deep vein of soul in his music.

As Otis Rush and his peers reach the end of their playing careers, there don't seem to be many (any?) who will continue to play this all encompassing laid back soulful style of blues (R&B), what a loss. Given that his voice is as tuneful as his guitar, the combination is genius. If you like electric blues at it's most accomplished then you'll want this.

Rush Completists Only! And as such I'd give it a 5... 29 Jun 2001
By tin2x - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a competent release and while Otis may not be happy with it his guitar sounds sweet and his voice sounds as warm as ever. The problem is that this just isn't the best material Otis ever touched and while varying drastically in tone and style "Cold Day in Hell", "Right Place, Wrong Time", or a compilation of his Cobra sides is where to find out what Otis Rush is all about. Look here when you've got those essential discs as well as the currently out of print "Anyplace I'm Going" and the still available "Ain't Enough Comin' In". But just because it's on Alligator don't assume this release is the one with the most cred. It's one of the ones with the least. It's near the bottom of his studio work. It's not bad. I've heard LOTS of blues worse than this. However, for a legend like Rush there are many places to look first. And if you're a completist you'll buy this no matter what I say, won't you?

Not for the picky, but still a good listen. 29 Aug 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Both his voice and guitar playing are sweet and smooth. Maybe a little too much for blues traditionalists. And it doesnt include any of his own original material. Just covers. Nonetheless, a fine album

Here Otis evokes emotions in stead of imitating them: great! 3 Oct 2004
By bela teeken - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is one of the best albums by Otis. Usually the problem is that he refers to emotions too directly by singing and playing phrases that have an analogy that is too close to actual screams of pain or dispair. Here he recognizes the medium of music and creates some great openness in his music through singing in a more abstract and relaxed way, letting timing and the solid blues scheme do the work. The Jimmy Reed tunes are more than entertainment (no pushing the button entertainment as is mentioned in a review here). These more straight blues songs, which in their abstract form leave no place for direct emotions, suit him very well. The band is very good as it does not stress the backbeat too much which gives the solo's and singing the change to take off and stay in the air without bringing them back to the ground at each beat.
