Adding to cart… The item has been added

During the sixties, there was the British blues boom, containing many blues bands, one of the finest being Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. In January of 1969 Fleetwood Mac were at Chess Studios, Chicago, jamming with the likes of Willie Dixon, S.P.Leary, Honeyboy Edwards, J.T.Brown and longtime Muddy Waters pianist Otis Spann. The end result of those sessions was the classic double album “Blues Jam At Chess”. The rapport between the Mac and Otis Spann was such that they recorded another whole album together, “…Colossus”. 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 playing, which is probably at it’s peak on these recordings, makes for a blues album of substance. “The Biggest Thing Since Colossus” is probably one of the most underrated blues albums. Long out of print on vinyl and now re-mastered from the original 1/4-inch tapes this album is a must buy for all.

Während des Blues-Booms in England in den 60igern gab es viele britische Bluesbands, darunter als eine der feinsten Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac. Im Januar 1969 jammten Fleetwood Mac in den Chess Studios in Chicago mit Willie Dixon, S.P. Leary, Honeyboy Edwards, J.T. Brown und dem langjährigen Pianisten von Muddy Waters, Otis Spann. Das Resultat dieser Sessions war der Klassiker "Blues Jam At Chess". Die Harmonie zwischen der Band und Spann war so gut, dass man sich entschloss, gemeinsame Aufnahmen zu machen. Otis Spann ist auf dieser Platte ganz er selbst, gefühlvoll und angeregt, völlig relaxed neben seinem vertrauten Drummer S.P. Leary. Dies in Verbindung mit Peter Green, bei dieser Aufnahme wahrscheinlich auf dem Höhepunkt seines Könnens, ließ eines der wichtigsten Blues Album entstehen - "The Biggest Thing Since Colossus" ist wohl eines der am meisten unterschätzten Blues-Alben. Lange auf Vinyl nicht erhältlich, nun aber vom originalen 1/4-Zoll-Band remastered, gehört diese LP in jeden Plattenschrank.
