Otis Rush/IL,USA 1985

A 55-minute recording of a gig at a local Chicago club on February 2, 1985, recorded on a soundboard from the master for radio broadcast. First, Rush’s thick guitar roars amidst the tough bass and tight, speedy drums, and even though he is using a Strat, it has a fat sound that rivals a Gibson 335. The members supporting him with a variety of backing create a spectacular groove, and the stage where Rush plays at high energy is a relaxed atmosphere with some jam-style sessions, including Clapton’s familiar “Double Trouble”. In any case, Rush’s hot guitar and vocals roar throughout the entire album, making this a must-listen for blues fans.
