Доп. информация
After the Jam Sessions at Chess studios, Spann and Fleetwood Mac decided to do another album together and this is the result. Leary's drumming is outstanding and Peter Green is probably at the peak of his guitar skills. There's a slow opening with 'My Love Depends on You', and then things really take off with 'Walkin'. This is one of those ultra rare Blue Horizon issues that's been out of print for over 30 years. The Pure Pleasure release, another Ray Staff/Alchemy/Pallas collaboration, is one spectacular bit of music making. Spann is one of the greats and he's just so into the groove and laid back, delivering stunning vocals. While there are other Otis Spann records I've preferred in the past, this disc makes a very welcome addition to the repertoire of an artist I can listen to all day long. The man can play the piano as good as Memphis Slim and that's saying something! If you're not familiar with Otis, this is a mighty find introduction into who he is and what he can do. Simply stated, he's got the blues. Great music, great feeling, great sound. Now all you have to do is get your copy. Top recommendation. RSF; HiFi+ Issue 41
One of the very best LPs to emerge from the British Blues Boom, when every blues legend seemed to produce sessions with some hot UK band. This time it was the genre's finest-ever pianist, Otis Spann, backed by three members of Fleetwood Mac in New York in 1969, a follow-up of sorts to Blues JamAtChess. Spann clearly enjoyed working with this trio of reverent Limeys, along with his regulardrummer, SP Leary, and the results make up for some of the less-accomplished cash- ! ins, when the delegated white ' boys couldn't rise to the occasion. This time, they certainly did. Rating: 5 of 5 Stars
