About this album

The Blues Is Where It's At is a strong late-period statement from Otis Spann, one of Chicago blues’ great piano stylists. Issued in 1967, the album finds Spann balancing hard-driving blues with slower, more reflective material, his rolling left hand and soulful phrasing carrying the record with ease. Best known for his work with Muddy Waters, Spann brought authority, feeling and swing to every session, and this set shows why he is widely regarded as a defining post-war blues pianist. Its blend of Chicago grit and deep Delta feeling makes it an important entry in his catalogue.
