Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! Original US 1st press 2LP on Epic ..wow .. minty dream audio ... VERY RARE !!

~~~ Amazing live album, by a cookin' band fronted by joe turner, esther phillips, ivory joe hunter and a host of others. If you like Rhythm & Blues ...  It doesnt get any better than this! Most of the album just soars with great vocals, horns, rhythm and Johnny Otis on the vibes. It is worth the price alone just to hear Esther Phillips sing Cry Me A River Blues.


The whole album captures the rollicking, spontaneous nuance of Otis' stage show. There is son Shuggie-who soon after recorded the classic space cosmic blues Inspiration Information which you should package in the same order as this album-Big Joe Turner, Esther Phillips, Roy Milton, and a cast of class A blues men and blues women.

Different musicians, as far as i can tell, come on stage during different parts of the show--a trombone in one part, a new singer, a vibraphone adding jazz elegance where you least expect--and add a party atmosphere to the tight playing core band here.

The blues is great, but there is an intimacy to this album that is rare and that really bolts it into the classic ranks. You really get the feeling you are being introduced to Otis' friends at a party that has many guests, but only special people are invited to. It really feels like you are there, and you will forget this is FORTY TWO YEARS AGO, THAT is how immediate this is, and how much we feel that immediacy.

Incidentally, if some tracks here sound vaguely familiar, it may be because Clint Eastwood used some footage of this performance in Play Misty For Me (1971). I knew there was something I liked about Clint's movies....
