The soul of blues roars in Chicago at night
The rough yet delicate guitar work and the strained vocals move the listener's heart.
This live recording captures the mature performance of Otis Rush in the latter half of his career. As the title "Tops" suggests, he pours his soul into every note, showcasing his blues spirit to the utmost.
