Our Take

Hailing from the Windy City, Chicago, Otis Spann's latest album "Walking the Blues" is a breath of fresh air in the often stagnant world of blues music. Known for his soulful piano playing and heartfelt vocals, Spann delivers a masterclass in authentic blues on this record. From the opening track "It Must Have Been the Devil", Spann's raw and emotive voice immediately grabs your attention, setting the tone for the rest of the album. His piano playing is nothing short of mesmerising, effortlessly blending intricate melodies with powerhouse chords. Tracks like "Country Boy" and "May Be The Last Time" showcase Spann's ability to tell a compelling story through his music, with lyrics that resonate long after the song has ended. His rendition of the classic "Nobody Knows My Trouble" is a standout moment, with Spann's haunting vocals sending shivers down your spine. The production on "Walking the Blues" is top-notch, capturing Spann's live energy and bringing it to life in a way that feels both intimate and grandiose. The mix of traditional blues elements with modern production techniques makes for a refreshing listening experience that will appeal to both purists and newcomers alike. Overall, "Walking the Blues" is a triumphant return for Otis Spann, proving once again why he is regarded as one of the true legends of the blues genre. With its infectious melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful performances, this album is a must-listen for any fan of authentic, feel-good music.
