In fairness to CJ he did the song in 1990, which musically was still basically the 80s. Hence that shitty, second-rate synthetic kind of tone it has, but on the flip side, how many dudes would cover an old Otis Rush tune and release it as a mainstream single?? Mad props. And his Little Big Band albums are a fun and very authentic take on old swing/big band music. If nothing else the guy's got pretty damn good taste in music.
Otis rush's Cobra Recordings are absolutely amazing. When I first listen to him on Chess, he was past his musical prime. I didn't understand why he was called the king of the electric guitar blues until I listened to these recordings- I remember buying them 16 years ago and them blowing me away... It completely changed my opinion. This was amazing and pioneering stuff
Ohhh yea,,,,um,,,I see that now. I do apologize . I was most likely drinkin. I wont lie. I see that now. (that comment) And might I ask dear- who the hell is colin james? hahha (zonked after the graveyard shift scuse my language) But yea,,,( Jen looks around... kinda embarrassed ) ..sorry bout that man ;)
The shout he makes in this song must be the best strongest shout in the whole music history, I think.
It comes from the deepest part of the soul like hell !
ah just shut up and respect the man and if ya knew anything about him youd know that his early stuff has a rough sound. It was a great trademark. This is Otis fkn Rush and its beautiful ya dig? x Take it easy now ♥"Jen"
