Otis Spann - Otis Spann Is the Blues - LP

180g Tip-On Jacket, Remastered by Bernie Grundman

Best known for his long association with Muddy Waters, Otis Spann is widely recognized as one of the greatest blues pianists of all time — yet Otis Spann Is the Blues (recorded August 1960) was his first solo album, and the very first release for the fledgling Candid label. Stripped down to just Spann and guitarist Robert Lockwood Jr., the set showcases his voice and his pulsing two-handed attack, bringing the barrelhouse piano of his youth in line with modern Chicago style. Produced by Nat Hentoff, with his original liner notes.
