5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Blues Power, August 29, 2002

Here is some of the most perfect blues guitar playing you will ever hear. There's even a smokin' version of Kenny Burrell's Chitlins Con Carne. You can hear the warmth & slight crackle of the tubes in Otis'amp. Tone to the bone. Majestic vibrato. Spine tingling singing. Otis' only living equal in this music (that I can think of right now) is Buddy Guy. I have several Otis Rush CD's. Highest recommendation to this one, Right Place, Wrong Time, and Cold Day in Hell (if it's still in print, I'm not sure). Blues Power.

This is one of the most Raw in your face Blues recordings I have ever heard! Otis sings with deep conviction and plays with a passion and makes every note count! The crowd is very enthusiastic and this adds to the excitement! One of my all time favorites at The Crazy Coyote Blues Power Show at 1490 KOTY AM (1490koty.com) Yakima Nation Reservation station in southcentral Washington state.

This review is from: So Many Roads: Live in Concert (Audio CD)

Otis Rush is the most talented bluesman around and he proves it in this set recorded in Japan in 1975. The opening instrumental is an overwhelming guitar performance, perhaps his best ever. Then he trumps B.B. King's great performance 'Everyday I Have the Blues' with a version that soars and stays funky at the same time. A chilling 'All Your Love' is followed by playing and singing on 'So Many Roads' that is blues at its deepest.
