Otis Rush- Bluesman Extraordinaire...

[Tbonewalk]

Otis Rush- just revisited this today, recorded in 1994, and wow, it is just excellent. I don't exactly understand why it didn't win a Grammy. It lost to Eric Clapton, From The Cradle... well, that's kind of a sin... pretty cool the way Otis does a few by Sam Cooke, an instantly recognizable nod... lots of his trademark incendiary guitar work here too... He was one of a kind, such an original!!!

Ain't Enough Comin' In Review by Cub Koda-
With sympathetic production from John Porter, a great lineup of players who follow him every bluesy turn of the way and a dozen well chosen pieces of material, Rush wipes the unispired album slate clean with this one. Everything that makes Otis a unique master of his form is here to savor, from his passionate vocals to the shimmering finger vibrato he applies to the liquid tones of his Fender Stratocaster. While Rush has tackled some of this material on other outings, never has it been served up so passionately as it is here. Even the re-cut of his famous Duke 45 "Homework" burns with a new intensity that makes you believe that this is one opportunity that Rush -- at least this time -- refused to let go by the boards.
