Outstanding presence, plus bonus tracks,

This review is from: Otis Spann Is the Blues (Audio CD)
If you want blues piano this album is the best. The sound quality is excellent, very atypical for a 1960's album; you'll think you're in the studio with them. I bought the album in 2004 and it contains 6 additional tracks, all of which appear to be additional studio jams, but not necessarily from the same session. There is no information on the album or internet regarding these tracks, and the album doesn't even list the titles. Thus, the total album time is 73 min and well worth the price. If you want to hear absolutely great blues piano without a lot of accompanyment, this is the album to get.

Best blues ever,
By Davesdd3 "DD" (Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Otis Spann Is the Blues (Audio CD)
I heard track 15 on Music Match. Had to buy the album. Was I suprised to get the CD and see only 10 songs listed. Put it in the CD player anyway, and there are 6 unlisted tracks on the CD.
Track 15 is my favorite-- pulsing piano blues. Makes me wish I could play the piano. If you want good clean blues, with promiment soundstage and clarity for all instruments and vocals, I suggest this album.

Extra tracks,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Otis Spann Is the Blues (Audio CD)
The 6 extra tracks on "Otis Spann Is the Blues" and 7 extra tracks on Spann's "Walking the Blues" CD's give you everything that's been released from Spann's great 1960 session for Candid. The extra tracks were originally on the Japanese releases of these great CD's on the P-Vine label and on the limited-edition Mosaic box set, which also includes Lightnin' Hopkins' 1960 Candid session. The Mosaic set includes 6 unissued tracks by Lightnin' Hopkins that as far as I know haven't been released elsewhere.
The 6 extra tracks on "Otis Spann Is the Blues" are: 11. Spann and Bob (3:22) 12. Can't Stand Your Evil Ways (3:46) 13. Talkin' the Blues (5:46) 14. Baby Child (take 3) (4:30) 15. Cow Cow Blues (4:10) 16. Beat-up Team (1st version) (6:37)* *This seems to be different song altogether from the originally issued version on the CD. If it is a different version it's a radically different one. These are classic recordings by Otis Spann (my favorite blues pianist) and Robert Lockwood, Jr. (my favorite blues guitarist). You can't go wrong. See my review of "Walking the Blues" for the unissued tracks included on that CD.
