Woeful Wednesday -- Otis Rush (The Daily Docket)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:01:00 GMT

In the case of Otis Rush, like many other bluesmen, Mississippi's loss was Chicago's gain. Otis was really instrumental in defining the prototypical Chicago Blues sound.

The Canadian guitarist's fifth album for the Cordova Bay label, and seventh overall, shows David Gogo at the peak of his soul, blues-rock powers. Certainly the only musician in his genre to cover Depeche Mode (a gutsy "Personal Jesus"), Otis Rush (his version of Bloomfield/Butterfield's "Reap What You Sow" nearly cuts the original), Stevie Wonder (a roughed up, bluesy and slowed down...

Who knows where these live tracks were done, or when? If the sound wasn't so bad, they'd rate with his better concert efforts.
