"These are milestone recordings in the history of the blues and an essential part of anyone's collection." - *****AllMusic
A stinging guitar vibrato and gospel-like voice are the definitive trademarks of bluesmen, as attested by left-handed guitar giant, Otis Rush. One of the founders of the Westside Chicago blues sound in the 1950s, Rush fused deep Mississippi blues with modern urban styles to produce a formidable guitar technique combined with vocals capable of agonized high falsetto shouts.
During the blues revival of the 1960s, Rush emerged as a mentor for musicians ranging from Mike Bloomfield to Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name just a few.
Presented here are Rush's best single sides for the Cobra label, backed by renowned players like Willie Dixon, Little Walter, and Ike Turner.
