| | Otis Rush Lost In The Blues CD Otis Rush Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
In the late 1970's, Otis Rush released this collection of his own favorite blues classics under the title TROUBLES, TROUBLES on the Sonet label. This long out of print release, now retitled LOST IN THE BLUES, has been completely remixed and beautifully repackaged.
For fans of this great blues guitarist (a major influence on Clapton, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan), this recording is a special treat, because Rush rarely goes into the studio. The sound is lush and lively, and Rush's silky, stinging lead lines are remarkably sweet and lyrical.
The powers that be at Alligator were subjected to a fair amount of criticism for taking a 1977 album of standards that Otis Rush had cut in Sweden and overdubbing Lucky Peterson's keyboards to make the thing sound fuller and more contemporary. History, after all, should not be messed with. But it's still a reasonably successful enterprise, with Rush imparting his own intense twist to "I Miss You So," "You Don't Have to Go," and "Little Red Rooster." ~ Bill Dahl
Recorded at Decibel Studio in Stockholm, Sweden on October 15 & 16, 1977. Includes liner notes by Bruce Iglauer.
Personnel: Otis Rush (vocals, guitar); Bob Levis (guitar); Lucky Peterson, Allen Batts (piano, organ); Bob Stroger (bass); Jesse Lewis Green (drums).
Otis Rush Lost In The Blues Songs Lost In The Blues Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A classic!
Had this album been billed as by somebody named Clapton, Beck, Page, Lee, Vaughn or Taylor it may very well be considered one of the classics or a landmark LP. Instead, it's Otis Rush, who was an influence for all of the aforementioned, and it is overlooked! This CD sparkles with crystal clear, straight ahead blues lines and Rush's fine vocals. Not quite as electric as his very best live stuff and not as influential as his Cobra stuff from the 50's, but one of the very best blues LP/CDs from the 70's; when we were deluged with disco, acid-jazz and many blues artists were experimenting, freaking out or still really playing rock (and calling it blues) Rush went to Sweden and cut this classic Chicago electric blues beauty!

| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Lost In The Blues album
 $17.79
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. ...

| | Byther Smith Hold That Train CD (2004)
Lost In The Blues CD music
$12.49
Recorded in 1981 and issued that same year on LP, the CD release of Hold That Train has been a long time comin'. Byther Smith is the great unsung Mississippi-cum-Chicago bluesman. Coming to the Windy City from the Delta, he has toured the world countless times, played with everyone from Dr. John to Malachi Thompson and Son Seals, and performs not only classic material from the blues canon, but writes amazing tunes as well. But outside the blues world he is an unknown, despite having some of the heaviest credentials on the planet and being one of the last Delta bluesmen still playing and recording. Smith is one of those bluesmen whose recordings are a potent, snaky brew of pure sweat, grit, and spirit. Hold That Train is a case in point. Here are 15 tracks covering 60 minutes that feature not only his signature slashing guitar style that embodies the entire history of electric blues with its wrist-wrangling attack, but his unbelievable singing voice, which is clear, cool, and full of the moaning power of raw sexuality and fierce independence. His versions here of "Tell ...

The music on this set of broadcasts dates from three time periods. Charlie Parker is heard with his working quintet (December 1948 to February 1949), at a time when he had Miles Davis or Kenny Dorham on trumpet, pianist Al Haig, bassist Tommy Potter, and drummer Max Roach. There are five selections from a May 28, 1950, engagement that features trumpeter Fats Navarro, sounding very strong just a short time before his death (if the date is correct). Also in the ...
