Album Review
Culled from four albums, except for one previously unreleased track, Shuggie's Boogie: Shuggie Otis Plays the Blues is a tour de force made all the more remarkable because the prodigy who produced it was so young. In fact, Shuggie Otis recalls during a boyish spoken intro in "Shuggie's Boogie" how he used to wear dark glasses and paint on a mustache to look older than his 14 or 15 years when he played in bars in the band of his legendary father Johnny Otis. During the same intro he effortlessly throws off guitar impersonations of T-Bone Walker, B.B. King and Elmore James. This compilation has a few rousing, up-tempo numbers, but the highlights are the slow, soulful tunes. One unfortunate omission is the seven-minute "Oxford Gray" from his 1970 album Here Comes Shuggie Otis.
Customer Reviews
Hot & blue!
While most kids were in middle school, Shuggie was on the road playing guitar with his daddy, bandleader Johnnie Otis. This collection pulls together most of the best cuts from his rare solo LPs. However, go to the Al Kooper produced "Here Comes Shuggie Otis" to top off the tank. If you like blues playing in the Freddie King/Mike Bloomfield/Earl Hooker/Peter Green mold, pack this one up and go.
