Someday by Otis Spann


Posted on 19th February, by Dave in Blues, Recordings, Solo Piano. 3 Comments

When we were kids we used to listen to a lot of Paul Simon, James Taylor, the Beatles. My parents had a record player and a little collection of records. One of my favorites was the album “Legends of Chicago Blues” that had Junior Wells, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann and others. I learned this song from playing along with the record when I was a teenager.

On the original recording Otis sings a few choruses really meloncoly-like, then his wife gets on the mic and yells at him for a few more choruses. Well, she’s singing, but it sounds like she’s yelling at him.

    The only thing your blog needs is little, random monster avatars on all the comments. It really makes my day.

    I’ll play for you anytime.

    We’ll have to listen to the Otis Spann version one day…er…someday.

    Oh!
