Our Take

Otis Spann's "Otis Spann in Session: Diary of a Chicago Bluesman 1953-1960" is a textbook example of the raw power and soulful emotion that defines the Chicago blues sound. From the moment the needle drops on the first track, you can practically smell the smoke-filled bars and feel the sweat dripping off the walls. Spann's piano playing is nothing short of masterful, effortlessly weaving in and out of the songs like a musical tapestry. His vocals, rich and emotive, tell tales of heartache, joy, and everything in between. It's a musical journey that's as cathartic as it is entertaining. The album's production may be a bit rough around the edges, but that only adds to its charm. It's like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a dusty old record shop - imperfect, yet undeniably captivating. "Otis Spann in Session" is a testament to the enduring power of the blues, and a tribute to one of the genre's unsung heroes. So grab yourself a whisky, put on your best pair of headphones, and let the music of Otis Spann wash over you like a warm wave of nostalgia. Trust me, you won't regret it.
