5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the very best music by Otis Grand, May 18, 2009

Otis Spain "It's blues time!" (Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: He Knows the Blues (Audio CD)

I've following this guitar man since the mid-1980's, when I first saw him playing live (doing an uncanny slow blues à la BB King as NOBODY else, by the way), and from then on I've been waiting to find some of that blues magic (no just masterful guitar playing: magic) on almost every recording of him. Well, here it is -to my ears- the cream of the top: the best recording by this blues master probably. The singer, the band, the program and the guests (Joe Louis Walker) are all great, but Otis is nothing sort of simply SUPERB.

If you can preview it somewhere, you just GOT to do it. If you can't, you just do yourself a big favor and buy it.
