CD - Otis Rush-So Many Roads,Live in Concert



Recorded live at Hibiya Park, Tokyo, Japan on July 20 & 29, 1975. Includes liner notes by Steve Tomashefsky.
This album, recorded live in Japan in 1975, features legendary Chicago axe-slinger Otis Rush in top form. While the personnel, which includes drummer Tyrone Centuray, bassist Sylvester Boines, and rhythm guitarist Jimmy Johnson, takes a back-seat to Rush's playing and singing, there is a good deal of fascinating instrumental interplay, especially from Centuray and Boines. Still, there is little doubt that this is Rush's show. The southpaw's mastery of the fretboard is on full display as he tosses out tricks--fluid, vibrato-rich phrasing, crying and stinging high ends, sounds transformed with feedback and effects.
The set includes a number of fine covers, including Willie Dixon's "I Can't Quit You, Baby," B.B. King's "Gambler's Blues," and Kenny Burrell's slinky groover "Chitlins Con Carne" (which, in its heavily amplified, near-rock version here, is one of the record's highlights). Rush's passionate vocals and the notoriously intense building-and-falling architecture of his solos get ample breathing room on these cuts, and the inspiration he draws from his appreciative audience is clear. This set is especially recommended for guitarists, who will find a veritable treasure trove of licks to study throughout.
