Little known gem - for
Review written by Richard J. Orlando, December 18th, 2004 Otis Spann was the King of Chicago Blues piano, anchoring most of Muddy Waters' classic Chess recordings from 1953 to 1969. First working with Fleetwood Mac during the Blues Jam in Chicago sessions, and producing some of that sets true highlights, they reconvened in a New York studio five days later for a one day session. Cut straight to two track stereo, without overdubs, Green, Kirwan and McVie support Spann seamlessly. And it is Spann's show, that's the reason that I gave it a four rather than five star rating - some may not care for the vocals - For Green fans, his playing on My Love Depends On You, Temperature Rising (100.2' F) and Ain't Nobody's Business, make this disc a must have. Danny can best be heard on She Needs Some Loving and I Need Some Air. My only complaint is that they did not include the two other tracks recorded at these sessions, an alternate of Temperature is Rising (98.8' F) and Blues For Hippies - these are not available elsewhere to the best of my knowledge and it would have been nice to have the complete session - that quibble aside I highly recommend this little know gem.
