I haven't got my copy of this in front of me, so I'm guessing it is about 1968/9. Otis is backed up by a band put together by Mike Bloomfield and friends, and they give Otis plenty of room to play, without trying to take over the show. Good songs, and lovely guitar work from Otis, some of whose work over the years has not always been up to his usual standard.
This is one I like to come back to from time to time, and my enthusiasm for it has not been diminished in the 40-odd years I've owned it on vinyl and cd. If you Like Otis Rush, you won't be disappointed!

Maybe not what you expect from Otis but a CD with SOUL!! I bought the LP before CDs were heard of and bought the CD when they were!! Reap For What You Sow is worth the price of admission alone

Of the plantation
14 Jun 2009
Format:Audio CD
One of my first blues records and my first Otis Rush record when I was a kid. I thought it was an awesome recording but have since matured with my blues, especially when I got more of Otis's recordings and found the real Otis. This is so different than any other of his recordings it is hard to reconcile. The production should have been better considering the work that went into this recording but sadly it suffers. The songs are great some a little dire, unlike one reviewer who did'nt like "My Old Lady", I beg to differ, it was a regular in my set list of songs we played and Jerold Jemmot was inspiring and was fun to play. Otis did stuff like Rainy Night in Georgia so he could step out. Not a good starting place but if you are a blues and Otis fan you should have this in your collection dispite its flaws because that guitar always overcomes.

Five Stars
3 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
Every time I listen to this album it gets me excited. It's one of my favorite blues records because it never gets dull. It really deserves five stars. The horn section is great and Mr. Rush's performance speaks for itself. Also for fans of Duane Allman, it's interesting to listen to him play rhythym guitar on this one. A great pick.

Otis shines through
6 May 2001
Format:Audio CD
This looks like a fairly cynical ploy. Let's get a blues star who's had some sizeable hits on a small label, take him to Muscle Shoals with the best session musicians we can find, and...oh yeah get him to record some of our songs. Mike Bloomfield and Nick Gravenites gave him some fairly dire songs to record, but were unable to prevent Otis Rush shining through, and in places making some old chestnuts live again.The undoubted top tracks are "It takes time" (self written by the man) a great version of B.B.King's "Gamblers blues" and a belting version of Chuck Willis' "Feel so bad".You'd best programme out Tracks 2 & 7,they weren't good to start with and haven't lasted well. Two other points. Firstly the band when they get into their stride really swing, and Jerry Jemmott on bass holds it altogether terrifically well. Secondly the stereo separation is the kind of weird deal that recording engineers would never even attempt today.A triumph in spite of the material
