Our Take

The Blues of Otis Span / Cracked Hammer Head is a delightful romp through the rich and soulful sounds of the legendary blues musician Otis Span. With his signature gravelly voice and virtuosic piano playing, Span transports listeners to a smoky juke joint in the deep south, where the whiskey flows and the music never stops.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Cracked Hammer Head," a rollicking tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From the slow-burning blues of "Down the Road Apiece" to the upbeat boogie-woogie of "New Hey Hey," Span showcases his versatility as a musician, effortlessly moving between styles with finesse.

But it's not just Span's musical prowess that shines on this album – his lyrics are equally captivating, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and life on the road. Tracks like "My Room Ain't Ready" and "Take a Little Walk with Me" showcase Span's storytelling ability, drawing listeners in with their raw and honest lyrics.

Overall, The Blues of Otis Span / Cracked Hammer Head is a must-listen for any fan of the blues. Span's infectious energy and timeless sound make this album a timeless classic that will have you tapping your feet and singing along from start to finish. So grab a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let Otis Span take you on a journey through the heart and soul of American music.
