Our Take

Ottilie Patterson: The First Lady of the British Blues In a world dominated by male blues musicians, Ottilie Patterson stands out as a true trailblazer. With her powerhouse vocals and undeniable charisma, she has rightfully earned the title of "The First Lady of the British Blues." From the moment you press play on this album, you're transported to a smoky blues club in 1960s London. The raw emotion in Patterson's voice cuts through the air like a knife, leaving you spellbound and craving more with each track. Patterson's ability to convey heartache and joy in equal measure is showcased brilliantly on standout tracks like "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "Careless Love." Her soulful delivery and impeccable phrasing make even the most well-worn blues standards feel fresh and exciting. The backing band on this album is top-notch, providing the perfect canvas for Patterson's powerhouse vocals to shine. The interplay between the horns, piano, and guitar is nothing short of electrifying, adding depth and texture to each song. If you're a fan of classic blues music or just looking to expand your musical horizons, Ottilie Patterson's The First Lady of the British Blues is a must-listen. So pour yourself a stiff drink, dim the lights, and let this album take you on a journey through the heart and soul of the blues. You won't be disappointed.
