My beloved friend., my teacher.My mentor.I was so lucky.To have such a friend.I miss Otis each and every day..God bless him and Masaki and the family...!!
Blues is not just music, it's a feeling!! When I'm on stage playing the harmonica and or singing songs like this, there is such a rush of emotion that goes thru me that I can't really explain. It's magical!!!
I have lost an uncle yesterday and I feel quite sad. I came up to this song and I have found it applicable or appropriate to what I'm feeling right now. This is the great dignity of the blues.
Otis voice is one of the bluest voices that ever was. His guitar sounds like church bells tolling. It’s over. This is the end. Simply amazing! If I were forced to choose IMHO Otis did the definitive version of this song. Sorry, Fention and Albert.
What a soulful voice and what a sweet guitar tone...he puts that same feeling of his singing in his guitar playing...Otis Rush aka The King Of The Singing String 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
OR influenced almost all of the guitar God's of the 60's tried to copy his phrasing and licks more than any other of his peer's .His departure didn't get much attention/publicity n I just found out of this passing yesterday.His musical career was like he said"Double trouble"...one of his classic hits. RIP Otis Rush.
I think this is one of his better records but the asshole record company kept this in the can a very long time. He's not capable of making a bad recording. PURE GENIUS Otis just may be the most underrated singer, songwriter, and guitar player of all time This a signature Albert King song and as much as I love Albert (one of Otis's main influences), this is the absolute version interesting that he's holding a left handed guitar when he actually plays a right handed guitar upside down
l love otis rush...albert king's version to me, is the bomb. clapton and duane allman got the opening riff to "layla" from king's lyrical working on the "it's nothing i can do" portion of the song and sped it up...the rest is rock music history.
PROBABLY The B E S T Version of this song out-there! You CAN'T fake The sentiment! Every note the man wrenches out of his axe speaks to you! l ! ! ! Now I gotta go practice my guitar chops! (and ...erm... cry in my beer!) DB
love SRV's work and he, to be sure, a beast; but brother been playing hard and good for years. to his credit SRV gave much credit to the older brothers before him. much respect
This sounds to me like good blues music. Very much along the lines of Albert King. Is there anyone out there who is doing something really new in the blues field? Is there such a thing as cutting edge blues? So much of the blues seems to be stuck in the 60s and now it seems as if people are simply trying to re-create those sounds. Has the evolution stopped?
I like Gary Clarke Jr. It still sounds like rehashed grooves and or styles from 60s and 70s rock, blues, and old school R&B. It sounds really good to my ear....it just doesn't sound that new or different.
I don't think that's true. When Louis Armstrong heard Charlie Parker he said it wasn't jazz anymore. When the beboppers heard John Coltrane they said it wasn't jazz anymore. When Ornette Coleman came around they said he wasn't jazz. And so on and so forth. I believe the conservative "purists" simply want to freeze a point in time and say...."Only this kind of Blues music is the "real thing". It's become a bit of a caricature. Two tone shoes, hats, skinny ties, sunglasses, the same patter and stereotypes. We live in the year 2016. How about something that is relevant to today and today's world.
+magan if you move too far away from something it becomes, in my opinion, something in unto itself. you can still share characteristics but I believe if one ventures too far away you give birth to something else. Rock was Blues until the white boys pushed too far one way or another

his voice coupled with guitar dexterity put him on an elite level, in my humble opinion
Agreed

Otis Rush was a longtime friend of mine. RIP Otis Rush 😇💞
One Big by Urban Blues ,,
Really ???
Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Allen Kamdyn definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
One of my all time favorites. This song just shows how good Otis was... Amazing performance!
R.I.P. Otis Rush (April 29, 1934 - September 29, 2018)

Otis - the NUMBER 1 BLUESMAN !
Thanks Otis for making our life - pleasurable!
Such a fantastic track and full of feeling... You are missed and you've inspired me, Mr. Rush.
One of the last of the great Mississippi Bluesmen....RIP Otis Rush.
I honestly never get tired listening to Otis

, love that song the king of in 2012
well,.....i'm embarrassed to say, I juuuusst heard of him this year, Wow.....so glad I did,.....Love love love......umhmm...
Amazing vocals [as well as guitar, of course]; really impressed with his vocals in general and much so on this track.
I think this is one of his better records but the asshole record company kept this in the can a very long time. He's not capable of making a bad recording. PURE GENIUS
Otis just may be the most underrated singer, songwriter, and guitar player of all time
This a signature Albert King song and as much as I love Albert (one of Otis's main influences), this is the absolute version
interesting that he's holding a left handed guitar when he actually plays a right handed guitar upside down
Amazing! What a phenomenal guitarist!!!!!
respect for otis i love this music so much
I like Albert King's version also, but Otis' mellifluous baritone voice as well as killer guitar work on this one makes it my favorite.
Also good vocals on Santana's 1968 live version.
Have Mercy, go ahead Otis.
hard to put in words... what a masterpiece...
it is said though, it has only 7000 views...
while Lady Gaga gets about 100 million views...
One of the slowest blues I’ve ever heard, just like Clapton’s cover of Rush’s own Groaning The Blues from the same year.
este es el mejor blues- quien mejor lo toca es ALBERT KING.
Love Otis - Love the Blues !
wow his voice has ghost like qualitys! none better! wow
Man, I love the blues! Way to go Otis Rush!
Awesome artist.
Otis is my LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM - WARNING - DO NOT TURN HIS POWER OFF !
So many good versions of this song, my favourite has to be Albert Kings. But Otis', Fenton Robinsons and The Animals ones are all great too!
his double trouble at the Montreux jazz festival is outstanding
Melisma to die for.
l love otis rush...albert king's version to me, is the bomb. clapton and duane allman got the opening riff to "layla" from king's lyrical working on the "it's nothing i can do" portion of the song and sped it up...the rest is rock music history.
What a voice!
I have this album!
PROBABLY The B E S T Version of this song out-there!
You CAN'T fake The sentiment!
Every note the man wrenches out of his axe speaks to you! l ! ! !
Now I gotta go practice my guitar chops! (and ...erm... cry in my beer!)

Anyone know if Otis Rush is related to Bobby Rush? both are blues men..
♫♫♫
the original by fenton williams is worth a listening too.
Fenton Robinson, you mean. Another late great bluesman more should check out!
Gee what guitar and amp did he use? Oh right it doesn't matter it's Otis Fucking Rush!
jelous
Bad, bad, bad..!
Not to take away from the great Otis Rush or Albert King, but the best version of this song was done by Mighty Joe Young.
