Something happened. A Jewsih kid from England got it. Easy in fact. And the proof is in this smooth pudding. We'r etalking the quintesential post-war Chicago sound of the heavy symbols, the up beat, and the solid rythm that make this the one esential album to include in your Chcago Blues library. Throw in Otis Spann and his famous piano "trill" and you've got what has been delegated to the ranks of musical perfection. But how did it all come together? After all we're talking English kids playing with the greatest blues piano player to ever come out of Chicago and Muddy Waters' cousin/brother-in-law to boot. Otis'voice, eirly reminicent of Muddy's, only more restrained and sweeter, delivers such prefect phrasing and tonal control as to furhter establish, along with the suberb rythm section, the finest example of recorded Chicago Blues. If you haven't heard this, it's probably the only reason you don't own it. Do, by all means.
