Otis Rush
Summary: 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 honours both traditions with this concert recorded at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1986, performing with his fellow Chicago blues man Luther Allison and their mutual protege Clapton for a stellar evening of red-hot electric blues. Tracklist includes: 'Tops', 'I Wonder Why', 'Lonely Man', 'Gambler's Blues', 'Natural Ball', 'Right Place, Wrong Time', 'Mean Old World', 'You Don't Love Me', 'Crosscut Saw' (with Eric Clapton), 'Double Trouble' (with Eric Clapton), 'All Your Love (I Miss Loving)' (with Eric Clapton), 'Every Day I Have The Blues' (with Eric Clapton and Luther Allison) and 'If I Had Any Sense, I'd Go Back Home'.
