Στο ερώτημα “ποιος τελικά …είναι τα blues, o Otis Spann η ο Willie Dixon;” (αμφότεροι έχουν κυκλοφορήσει άλμπουμ με τίτλους που διεκδικούν την “πατρότητα”) η απάντηση είναι …πιο κοντά στο δεύτερο. Αυτό φυσικά δεν έχει σημασία όταν αναφερόμαστε στον μεγαλύτερο πιανίστα των Chicago blues, “αδελφό” του Muddy Waters και συνεργάτη πέραν αυτού μιας πλειάδας “θρύλων” των blues και όχι μόνο. Ακούμε ένα τραγούδι του Otis Spann από το άλμπουμ του, Otis Spann Is The Blues του 1960.

To the question “who ultimately … is the blues, Otis Spann or Willie Dixon?” (both have released albums with titles claiming “fatherhood”), the answer is … closer to the latter. This, of course, doesn’t matter when we’re talking about the greatest Chicago blues pianist, the “brother” of Muddy Waters and a collaborator, beyond him, with a host of blues “legends” and more. We’re listening to a song by Otis Spann from his 1960 album, Otis Spann Is The Blues.
From this one we pick the opening song.
