Otis Rush / Hold That Train

[@raybede]

Otis has stayed true to his calling and played beautifully, the best blues for many years, inspiring many thousands of guitarists along the way

[@TheYankeeGardener]

Otis Rush is just one of many UNDER-RATED Kings of the Blues! There were a good many great Blues players that learned much from his style of playing the Blues. And Oh Yes! What a voice that man had and his guitar playing is some of the cleanest playing you will ever hear. Notice how you rarely ever hear him make the strings squeak when he plays? What a great Blues Man he is!

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

This is my favorite Otis Rush album. The sound of the guitar and band just cant get better and Otis plays explicit long and beautiful blues lines. What a pleasure!

[@KRxN11]

A Giant Among Giants. The Mournful Voice, The Melisma, the attack, the SLowBurn . Otis Rush Is A Giant. Highly Recommended "So Many Roads" Live In Japan, One of The Greatest Blues Performances Of ALLTIME

[@roydayne]

Otis passed away on the last day of September 2018,He was one of the greats RIP.

[@guitarmanrommel3865]

Otis Rush was most progressive blues man among his peers.RIP.

[@gusblues]

how we miss this man on a stage thanks for the tribute and respect to my hero Mr OTIS RUSH!!!!!

[@bigbarty8648]

I see that you posted this comment eleven years ago, I hope you are still listening! :)

[@gusblues]

Of course!! My man, the one and only!! MR OTIS RUSH 🙏💪🏼

[@brandonterzic]

Mr Smooth...like velvet...the voice the guitar tone...the vibrato...he quivers baby!!

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

The real thing! Otis voice in my opinion is simply the best in blues and he is such a great guitar player as well. Thanks so much for loading

[@Dutchy1965]

it took me 46 years to stumble upon Otis - but now that I found him - I ain't letting him go

[@snapfinger1]

The Albert King & Otis Rush method has such clarity.

[@scottcampbell1958]

Listen to that voice, man. Forget that he played such a wicked guitar. Upside-down. What a singer he was. Many thanks for posting this gem. Hadn't heard it in years.

[@erickapolinar]

Otis Rush is one of my all time favorites... I can just listen to him play for hours!

[@Dutchy1965]

every note ....sends a new shiver down my spine...........thank you Otis....for making our lives pleasurable......

[@Kdees]

Big ups! Hold Your Train is a true gold classic, very supreme Blues. Many thanks for sharing

[@StAlfonzo420]

BB King did a beautifull cover of this with brass in the instrumental, it doesn't seem to be on youtube though. Otis Rush still makes it sound completely his own, Utterly timeless track.

[@Mark8395217]

I could listen to Otis play his guitar all day.... wait.... it's 6:30.... I guess I have been listening all day!

[@dechaeaaronful]

Now this is some real shit right here. The real r&b youngings don't know this kind of real music

[@minecraftgambit4465]

Deandre White Only MOST of the young people in this day and age don't know about this music. I'm one of the lucky ones that is absolutely '100% proud to say that blues is my favorite genre of music on earth. I'd much rather listen to some BB King or Robert Johnson over these new artists any day. (I was born in 1997.)

[@bigbarty8648]

My local pub has Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightnin' on the Juke Box. Every time I go in I play it and the young kids go nuts wanting to know who it is! There is hope yet! :)

[@Dutchy1965]

Perfect G-man Perfect Voice = Perfecto Blues

[@beowulf3075]

Great upload, thanks. Voice is so good on So many roads and I can't quit u baby, from the 60's.

[@JulioEnoc]

Don´t forget that the man is still alive and recovering

[@bymyself9487]

Very Nice Blues Rest in Peace Otis🖤💙

[@tahidor]

So heavenly....

[@Dutchy1965]

Otis Rush - He's my favourite Bluesman !

[@francescoangerame9348]

ragazzo Buddy Guy,Luther Allison

[@promerops]

And mine. That voice! That guitar!

[@bluesmakesuhappy]

Otis is one of the all time favs... so beyond great!

[@jimpetkoff]

sweet tone and emotion

[@slavkocosic5553]

S a N...Smooth & Nice

[@standingbeark]

one of a few left handed guitarist that literally played with strings strung for a right handed axe man. greatness...

[@standingbeark]

funny you sent this...i was saying in conversation yesterday that otis rush, albert king, elizabeth cotton, and bobby womack were probably the most well know guitarists that literally played upside down.

[@standingbeark]

good deal...i'm actually sitting here playing as i watch the football game, lol. jimi was giftd at being able to do that, as i'm sure you know, on a right handed axe. i've done it some, but never devoted much time to the task. might not be a bad exercise.

[@bluesmakesuhappy]

+standingbeark Eric Gales is also a lefty that plays guitar upside down strung up as a righty... love that Doyle Bramhall II thought... what a great musician and keeping the great blues going.

[@standingbeark]

oh yes...gales and bramhall are on that "list" , for sure.

[@zyruemusic]

CHARLES WRIGHT PLAYS THE SAME EXACT WAY!!!!

[@KRxN11]

The Voice, the pleading mournful powerful Voice & The slowburning vibrato of his guitar put The Great Otis Rush in a vlass by Himself. Just listen to live lp "So Many Roads", recorded in Japan-One of The Greatest Live lps Ever!!!

[@Dutchy1965]

listening to this album right now...and will until the day I die

[@KRxN11]

One unique, intense, scorching, melting, biting, aching Bluesmen - Otis Rush. Have mercy. Does anyone have the "So Many Roads" recorded live in Japan? It includes a killer "I Can't Quit You, Baby". In fact, the entiire LP is one of the greatest of all time/ If anyone has it, PLEASE POST it!!!

[@FedeRighetti]

RIP Otis Rush

[@taildragger53]

This track got played alot on London's ''jazzf.m"' station when this was re- released onto CD in the early 1990s. What astounded me was his tortured voice, the tone of his guitar, the feel and that stinging finger vibrato. I went out immediately and got TWO copies of the CD. The whole CD is beyond words.(inspite of the overdubs by Lucky Peterson which got it some bad reviews)

[@craigmccauley3972]

Cool blues!

[@abdeslamtahri8981]

very deep blue slow blues that I like very much

[@antoniobranco6057]

May GOD bless u, this is the music GOD created to be given glory unto HIM, I mean perfection.

[@TheGomJabba]

No.

[@SoloKeeper47]

Actually, It was created by human beings.

[@MickGough1957]

thanks great blues

[@Dutchy1965]

My biggest regret is that I'm 46 and I only discovered Otis a few years ago. Boy I wasted my time hey.

[@Dutchy1965]

I gotta get this Album - even if its the last thing I ever do !

[@evolutionist2010]

this is the bomb.

[@750tblack]

A Giant Among Giants.

[@grosper]

Great!

[@ernestgreen3018]

This cat can really jam! Smoking!

[@Dutchy1965]

I have a CUNNING PLAN - if I play this loud - then the kids next door might grow up to be the FUTURE BLUESMEN !

[@sfdog1369]

Good One 1BB1 Thx Bro

[@Dutchy1965]

@gusblues yep - he's my HERO TOO.........

[@rafaelk263]

Reminds me of "hold that plane" by buddy guy. They're both like the same song.

[@colsnake331]

@bobobekker Yeah you're probably right. I was hoping someone out there still has a collection of rare blues they digitized.

[@msaintpc]

He was a baaaaaad boy!

[@Bimbomable]

He ain't dead yet...

[@Anna-nc8de]

Pretty..

[@Dutchy1965]

@scottcampbell1958 best voice in the business

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

As great as this is his LIVE take of Gambler's Blues is even better.

[@kevdean9967]

"King of the singing string" Jimmy Vaughan. I'm pretty sure Jimmy was referring to Otis' unmatched vibrato!!!

[@BIGBabyBrowneBlues]

@jamnout71 hell yea it was

[@GeorgeHarrysSon]

@Dutchy1965 Let's hope your "cunning plan," as you put it, takes hold! Play it loud, play it proud!

[@Dutchy1965]
