This CD, the only Otis Rush live in Chicago album, results from the fortunate conjunction of three significant forces in the 1970s Chicago blues scene: Otis Rush, the Wise Fools Pub, and the WXRT "Unconcert." Though I was on hand when the recordings were made and knew of course that the tapes existed, I had long given up hope that they would ever be issued. Their appearance now, some 30 years later, is cause for tremendous excitement among lovers of Chicago blues.
