Our Take

Indulge your senses and take a nostalgic trip back in time with Otis Spann’s latest album, “Bottom Of The Blues.” This charming collection of blues classics is like stepping into a smoky, juke joint in Mississippi in the 1950s.

Spann’s smooth vocals and talented piano playing effortlessly transport listeners to a world where heartache and soul-stirring music reign supreme. Each track on this album is a little time capsule, preserving the raw emotion and soul of the blues for a new generation of music lovers.

From the toe-tapping rhythms of “My Love Depends On You” to the heart-wrenching lyrics of “Nobody Knows,” Spann’s mastery of the blues is on full display. The stripped-down instrumentation allows his vocals to shine, capturing the essence of true blues music.

However, for all its authenticity and nostalgia, “Bottom Of The Blues” may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The slow pace and melancholic themes may not be suited for those looking for more upbeat or contemporary sounds. But for those willing to delve into the depths of the blues, this album is a true gem.

Overall, Otis Spann’s “Bottom Of The Blues” is a delightful journey into the heart of the blues, showcasing the timeless talent and soulful music of a true legend. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Otis Spann guide you to the bottom of the blues.

About the artist

Otis Spann

"Oooooooweeee, it's time to talk about the one and only Otis Spann, the piano-playing powerhouse from the Windy City. Otis ain't just any old ivory tickler, oh no - this cat's got more soul than a shoe store on Saturday afternoon. Born and raised in Mississippi, Spann cut his teeth playing in juke joints and honky-tonks before making the pilgrimage to Chicago, where he found his groove in the smoky blues clubs of the South Side. His fingers were like lightning on the keys, sparking up a storm of sizzling solos and groove-laden grooves that would make even the most jaded hipster tap their toes. Spann's playing was the perfect blend of elegance and grit, mixing the fancy flourishes of classical training with the raw emotion of the blues. His voice was just as powerful, a deep, gravelly growl that could turn a tender ballad into a primal scream of passion and desire. Over the years, Otis Spann laid down some of the finest blues recordings of all time, both as a solo artist and as a sideman for legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. His music was a force of nature, a raging river of sound that could sweep you away in a torrent of emotion and excitement. So take a seat, dear readers, and let the magic of Otis Spann wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer night. You won't regret it, I promise you that."
