Ain't Enough Comin' In (1994)

EW's GRADE
A

Details Lead Performance: Otis Rush; Genre: Blues

On his first recording in nearly a decade, the 60-year-old Chicago blues master proves he hasn't lost a step during his absence. From his first shrill Stratocaster blast, Otis Rush winds his way through a rollicking set of bedrock grooves, pausing only to draw an occasional tear on Ain't Enough Comin' In. Singing and playing with Rush's smoldering authority and depth ought to be illegal—or at least declared dangerous.
