Recorded in 1965 and 1966, these 15 tracks are divided between solo piano performances and pieces with a full band, with support from guitarist Johnny Young and members of the Muddy Waters Band. The variation in approach means that this isn't the most consistent Spann album, and the material and performances don't rank among his best either, although they're reasonably solid. Includes some of the rare tracks on which Spann played organ rather than piano. ~ Richie Unterberger

| | Johnny Shines Masters Of The Modern Blues CD (1994)
Otis Spann's Chicago Blues
$10.05
Johnny Shines had been playing the blues steadily since the 1930s (travelling and playing extensively with Robert Johnson), and had moved to Chicago in the '40s, where he regularly performed with an electric band, but he made only a handful of recordings during that time. Shines quit playing music in the late '50s due to frustration with the industry, but '66's MASTERS OF THE MODERN BLUES helped revive his career, and restored him to his rightful position as a notable figure in the genre.

| | Johnny Shines With Big Walter Horton CD (1969)
Otis Spann's Chicago Blues
$9.79 
Recorded in Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California in 1966 and 1969.
JOHNNY SHINES WITH BIG WALTER HORTON includes the balance of the songs from the 1966 session that yielded Shines' album MASTERS OF THE MODERN BLUES (Testament 5002), along with seven songs from a 1969 session.
Calling an album one the best in this particular genre, Chicago blues, is a pretty big move. There are plenty of masters of this particular form, and the success of several different record companies recording the genre over the years has assured no shortage of material. Something just comes together splendidly on these sessions that elevates this album well above the level of even some of the great Chicago sides of artists such as Muddy ...
