Otis Spann : The Biggest Thing Since Colossus – Pure Pleasure Records Vinyl LP

Otis Spann is his usual emotive and exciting self, feeling totally relaxed alongside his regular drummer, S.P Leary. This coupled with Peter Green’s guitar palaying, which is probably at it’s peak on these recordings, makes for a blues album of substance. “The Biggest Thing Since Colosusss” is probably on of the most underated Blues albums.

    Blues music is a deeply expressive genre that originated in the African American communities in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19th century. It is characterized by its use of specific chord progressions and the melancholic narrative of the lyrics, often dealing with themes of sorrow, troubles, and soulful endurance.
