Yeah, this is a hard one for me. Otis was arguably the most gut-wrenching and emotional blues guitar player (and singer) that ever strapped one on. Got to see and hang out with him a few times, he just embodied everything I love about modern blues. Every note counted with searing reality. RIP, Otis. Sad

If you don't know his work, here are a few of his greatest:

Upon showing him this video, I had a knowledgeable guitar player argue with me a few years ago that Otis Rush ripped off Led Zeppelin - HA!

Truly one of my favorite blues guitarist.

I believe this recording was from German television in the '60's.

Best Regards,

I've been a fan of Otis since the early 70s when I bought an LP called, "Chicago, the Blues Today." There were several other folks on that LP including James Cotton, another favorite of mine.

Otis was very cool..!! May he rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" Olson
