OTIS SPANN - THE BIGGEST THING SINCE COLOSSUS (180g IMPORT LP)

This album features the great Otis Spann (ex Muddy Waters sideman) in company with early Fleetwood Mac members, Peter Green, Danny Kirwin and John Mc Vie. Unlike many meetings between the worlds of rock and blues, this one produces consistently great music and actually sounds like an authentic Chicago blues session. Otis shows what we all knew anyway, that he was a worldly inspired vocalist and of course that Peter Green has the right to be considered as good as any blues guitarist that ever lived. His solos on this album are the very model of economy and deep emotion. This album is no flaccid jam session but a set of great songs performed with real passion and commitment by people who were born to play the blues. Upon one listen to this album, it becomes apparent that Otis Spann had the talent and personality to be as big as Muddy or Hooker, but death took him at an early age. Don’t miss out on this little lesser known of the greatest blues stars of all time.
