Otis Rush, Magic sam - Eli Toscano: Chicago Blues Entrepeneur Volume One: Otis Rush And Magic Sam (2023)

Eli Toscano co-owned the Cobra label, whose roster listed top blues artists such as Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Guitar Shorty, and Harold Burrage.

Breaking into the R&B Top Ten his very first time out in 1956 with the startlingly intense slow blues "I Can't Quit You Baby," southpaw guitarist Otis Rush subsequently established himself as one of the premier bluesmen on the Chicago circuit. Rush was often credited with being one of the architects of the West Side guitar style, along with Magic Sam and Buddy Guy.

No blues guitarist better represented the adventurous modern sound of Chicago's West side more proudly than Sam Maghett. He died tragically young (at age 32 of a heart attack), just as he was on the brink of climbing the ladder to legitimate stardom, but Magic Sam left behind a thick legacy of bone-cutting blues that remains eminently influential around his old stomping grounds to this day.
