Otis Rush - All Your Love (I Miss Loving) (Cobra 5032)

[V8Deuce]

So, for the record. Is this the original version ?

[jplew138]

@V8Deuce For the record, this is the original.

[jazzbass25]

Always good to hear the original..whatta voice! ..That little R&R breakdown in the middle is .classic!

[TheSunRecords]

Just unbelieavble great song in every way!

[FlippityFlopFlop]

TONE! And that vocal! My god.

What a take.

[lazur1]

I swear I've heard two versions of this: This one has the drum fill into the last verse going a few extra awkward hits, the other cuts it tighter. The only times I've heard it on an actual 45, it was always this version, but the other was obviously Otis with the same band & style of production. Any clues?

[boogaludo]

@lazur1 it was probably the Magic Sam version. It Is very close to this and was issued also on Cobra Records #5013.

[lazur1]

@boogaludo This confuses me further: Otis & Sam both recorded very similar versions of "Keep On Lovin' Me", but the only "All Your Love" I know of by Sam is a -completely- different tune.

[Glendoras]

@lazur1 Otis recorded several takes, which was slightly different. I have an LP released on Flyright sometime in the 70's, which has alternative takes on it. These differs from the one's that was chosen for the singles. I Can't Quit You on this LP has another intro as well, than the official release.

[brushcreek42]

@boogaludo I don't understand. This doesn't sound even remotely similar to Magic Sam's song. It's not the same song.

[zappophile]

@lazur1 yea this version(cobra) is a little slower. You are probably thinking of the Chess version it is alot tighter



[DancingOwl]

This stupendous masterpiece of Chicago blues comes from a mid 1958 session with Little Brother Montgomery on piano, Jackie Brenston, Carlson Oliver and Eddie Jones on baritone and tenor saxes respectively, Willie Dixon and Odie Payne on bass and drums and IKE TURNER string bending those incredible lead guitar figures with Otis trading licks, but acting more as second guitarist. Ike was the Cobra/Artistic session studio guitarist also on early Buddy Guy sides.....few people realize this.

[lazur1]

@DancingOwl Otis acting more as second guitarist? From what I've heard of Ike's other stuff, he never had the sweet vibrato of Otis Rush. Nobody did. I'd need the best evidence in the world before I'd believe that solo was Ike. Interviews with Ike don't count.

I alway wondered this"You had Eric Clapton in England,Jimi Hendrix in America both of their guitar heroes were Otis Rush,Buddy Guy,Albert King,B.B.King and Freddie King,both Hendrix and Clapton would cross paths in England and America in the late 1960's and both would jam with their guitar heroes.

All my love for you otis

So that's where black magic woman came from.

Does anybody know in which key this was originally ?

This one if in F# min, could it be slowed down? On a video from 1996 Otis Rush played this live in Gmin.

[lazur1]

@rolg3 Indeed. All due credit to Peter Green for being a legitimately original dark, obsessed, blue-drenched & talented personality himself, but there's no way Green could've done it the way he did without Rush before him.

@lazur1 I always tell people about this being the mama of Black Magic Woman and I'm a huge Peter Green fan. But, Peter was a huge Otis Rush fan. Fleetwood Mac did several Otis Rush tunes that were credited to Otis because the words were the same...Homework, Love That Woman, I Have To Laugh and It Takes Time.

[Creativechaos42]

@mmandmm9 Black Magic Woman is "inspired" by Help The Poor, played by BB King (written by Charlie Singleton). Green confirmed that.

[DylanBuckle]

Dylan

[IViewMusic]

Great song and good youtube transfer. Dylan knows which songs to rip off.

[lazur1]

@IViewMusic 71 thumbs up? What Dylan tune(s) are you referring to? I've haven't heard one with any similarity.

[IViewMusic]

@lazur1 I can't explain the high number of thumbs up - surprised me too. I honestly don't remember writing the comment, but the song I must be referring to is Bob Dylan - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' . Punch that into the search terms and the rather uncharacteristically brutal official video should pop up.

[lazur1]

@IViewMusic Yes, similar.

[MemphisBlueAgain]

Thanks for this upload.

Truly a masterpiece!
