Search - Otis Rush :: I Can't Quit the Blues (Dig)

"Otis Rush's esteemed status as a prime Chicago innovator is eternally assured by the ringing, vibrato-enhanced guitar work that remains his stock-in-trade and a tortured, super-intense vocal delivery that can force the hairs on the back of your neck upwards in silent salute." -- All Music Guide * Breaking into the R&B Top 10 his very first time out--in 1956--with the startlingly intense slow blues "I Can't Quit You Baby," southpaw guitarist Otis Rush subsequently established himself as one of the premier bluesmen on the Chicago circuit. * Rush has written scores of classic blues tunes: notably, "All Your Love" was the opening track on John Mayall's 1966 Bluesbreakers with a pre-Cream Eric Clapton on guitar and "I Can't Quit You, Baby" is a blasting centerpiece on Led Zeppelin's debut album.
