'The King Of West Side Chicago Blues Guitar', Otis Rush, liebte zunächst den Klang der Country-Musik, seine ersten Helden waren Eddy Arnold und Bob Wills. Er wählte nicht einmal die Gitarre als sein erstes Instrument, sondern begann zunächst Mundharmonika zu spielen, bevor er schlie?lich den Wechsel vornahm. So lohnend seine späteren Aufzeichnungen auch sein mögen, waren es doch die frühen Stücke, wie sie hier versammelt sind, die seinen Ruf als Blues-Grö?e manifestierten.
"Die Sachen, mit denen ich aufgewachsen bin, waren alle auf Kobra", sagte Eric Clapton einmal: "Wei?t du, ??Double Trouble?? und ??I Can't Quit You Baby?. Otis war fantastisch, ein gro?artiger Spieler". -
