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 sides for the Cobra label, backed by master players like Willie Dixon, Little Walter and Ike Turner. 1. I Can T Quit You Baby 2. Violent Love 3. My Baby is a Good Un 4.
