		Rush came to Chicago in 1948, met Muddy Waters, and knew instantly what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.
		It turned out to be a prophetic title: much to Rush's chagrin, the firm overdubbed keyboardist Lucky Peterson and chopped out some masterful guitar work when it reissued the set as Lost in the Blues in 1991.
		Rush signed with the House of Blues' fledgling record label, instantly granting that company a large dose of credibility and setting himself up for another career push.

	Amazon.com: Any Place I'm Going: Music: Otis Rush (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Otis Rush is backed (but never swamped) by a solid horn section, and his intense vocals have become a bit darker with age, but his big, expressive singing voice and sizzling guitar work are still his greatest assets.
		Rush's lengthy solos on "Looking Back" and "Any Place I'm Going (Beats Any Place I've Been)" are deceptively clean and understated, but turn it up a bit and you'll hear why Otis Rush is considered one of the finest blues guitarists ever to lay hands on a volume knob.
		At 64, Otis Rush obviously hasn't lost any of his razor-sharp chops, and one can only wonder if he might not have been the man hailed worldwide as the reigning King of the Blues if only fate and various record companies had been kinder to him.

	Rolling Stone : Otis Rush: Mourning In The Morning : Music Reviews
		As I understand it, the major problem in recording Otis Rush in the past has been material; it was reputedly the chief stumbling block to his having done an album for Vanguard when they had an option on his services.
		What's most saddening about all this is that Otis is one of the most exciting and distinctive of all the younger bluesmen around, but here just about every vestige of his distinctiveness—that which made his music characteristically his own—is gone.
		And I guess that's pretty much what this album's all about: Otis Rush is merely used as a vehicle for the articulation of certain ideas about modern blues that are ultimately the property of Mike and Nick.

		Good as it was to hear Rush's major-label comeback two years ago, it's better to hear him reapproach his classic form.
		Classic Memphis-sound producer Willie Mitchell has given Rush the kind of spare framework he enjoyed on his earliest sessions for Cobra Records, allowing this pioneer of gritty Chicago-ghetto blues to thrive.
		This studio date, plus the gigs I've seen this year, indicates that Rush's years of erratic performances may be behind him -- at least for a spell.

		Rush was escorted onto stage by Masaki, walking a little unsteady, taking a seat with Johnson sitting on his right.
		It is sad to report, but Rush was in pretty bad shape in terms of motor skills, which obviously affected his guitar playing.

		Far from a magnetic stage presence, Rush is nonetheless in fine form as he cradles his left-handed, cherry-red guitar.
		Also included is audio-only commentary describing snapshots of Rush taken with such luminaries and devotees as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Buddy Guy, Gary Moore, Willie Dixon, and Bill Wyman.
		But Rush doesn't have much to contribute about most of them, other than they are good musicians and nice guys.

		Otis Rush is vibrant throughout the show on every one of the nine cuts.
		Otis leads off with a hot blues instrumental, "Tops", and the stage is set for a solid 54 minutes of sheer musical pleasure.
		Otis Rush became an icon in Europe and Japan, but never quite attained superstar status in the blues world here in America and I have often wondered why.

		Breaking into the RandB Top Ten his very first time out in 1956 with the startlingly intense slow blues "I Can't Quit You Baby," southpaw guitarist Otis Rush subsequently established himself as one of the premier bluesmen on the Chicago circuit.
		Rush is often credited with being one of the architects of the West side guitar style, along with Magic Sam and Buddy Guy.
		Nevertheless, his esteemed status as a prime Chicago innovator is eternally assured by the ringing, vibrato-enhanced guitar work that remains his stock-in-trade and a tortured, super-intense vocal delivery that can force the hairs on the back of your neck upwards in silent salute.

		For anyone unfamiliar with the work of Otis Rush his new album should be a revelation.
		His early work for Cobra, recorded from 1956-58 when Rush was just 22 or 23 years old, brings together taut, constricted vocals, brilliant and original compositions, fluid guitar lines and the same kind of soul-wrenching involvement which characterized Johnson's epochal blues.
		For all its flaws it has a compelling force of its own, and for anyone who has not had the chance to listen to Otis Rush it is an indispensable introduction to the sound of the blues today.

		The frighteningly intense "I Can't Quit You Baby" was the maiden effort for both artist and label, streaking to number six on Billboard's RandB chart.
		Produced spotlessly by John Porter with a skin-tight band, Rush roared a set of nothing but covers — but did them all his way, his blistering guitar consistently to the fore.
