Just the sweetest vibrato in the blues!

Btw Led Zeppelin covered this song on their first album. Also Stevie Ray Vaughan named his rhythm section “Double Trouble” after Otis Rush’s classic 50s song of the same title.

I had the privilege of seeing Otis Rush and many bands including many blues artists in my life. Otis Rush was another one who had his music played by famous bands.

I had a friend in school who asked to borrow my guitar but I was like “ Don’t you play left handed?” And he was like “Yes, but I play upside down...” It was strange to see someone with the high strings towards their face... But it worked for him...
Otis looked extremely cool with those freshly pressed and starched shirts and the dark glasses. You can practically see the music flowing out of him...
Very sad about the UMG Fire... Conservation and Curation of Art is very important.

What a precious time capsule. Thanks for including so much cultural history here. Loved it. (and the t-shirt!)

Love Otis Rush. Not a lot of notes played, just the right ones! He was a major influence on Peter Green.😉
Thanks for this, Fil. I learned even more about one of my favorite guitarists.

Great subject this week, I've watched this clip of Otis many times. That opening wail gets me every time! :)

"Otis Rush: The Classic Cobra Recordings 1956-1958" is one of the greatest albums in my music collection. Absolutely essential.

Classic Gold. We must never forget these voices. They had a unique guitar sound and a vocal signature that brands your heart. Thank you for preserving the memories.

God Bless you Fil for knowing the history of our music. I fear how much longer kids will know these facts.

I love that your videos transcend so many genres of music. Great job Fil.

[loripond]

Thanks Fil for all the music history you teach to us...well me for this one an artist I didn't know...✌❤🤘

[jazzcat]

Great Chicago blues, a true legend!! Playing an upside down guitar like that is incredible🤯...killer song!!!

[mariorabottini]

Brilliant blues! Gifted with an amazing voice and such a great guitar tone....simply sensational! Thanks for sharing Fil....Awesome! Cheers Mario!😀👌🤘

Omg that man's got some pipes. Makes me weak in the knees.

Genius, Fil! Otis is so underappreciated. I've found that a lot of people know his name (probably from t-shirts and other players mentioning him) but not really his music. I've actually had several arguments with music "experts" who insisted that Page and Plant wrote this song. He was definitely a huge influence to so many players and reserves more respect. Cheers.

Thanks Fil I have been waiting for you to do one of my all time favorite blues men. People talk about the concept of being over looked, think the term applies here. Otis Rush is killer blues.

I watch this video about once a week. Otis makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up with that opening note. As a singer, I'm OK, but I can't touch that! The slow, plunking upside down strumming is an effect all his own. I'm a big Led Zep fan, but this version is my favorite. Thanks for another great analysis.

[sandrasmith]

"Well..you know I cant quit ya baby...but I gotta put you down for a while" Anyone relate to that besides me, lol! Love this man..loved the analysis, ty! Hope you saw my request on your Keb'Mo' analysis.

Its the infamous early cobra recordings that made his carreer that lasted five decades. With a list of guitar slingers , the likes of buddy guy and ike turner among them
...cool
