this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Blues Is Where It's At is a strong late-period statement from Otis Spann, one of Chicago blues’ great piano stylists. Issued in 1967, the album finds Spann balancing hard-driving blues with slower, more reflective material, his rolling left hand and soulful phrasing carrying the record with ease. Best known for his work with Muddy Waters, Spann brought authority, feeling and swing to every session, and this set shows why he is widely regarded as a defining post-war blues pianist. Its blend of Chicago grit and deep Delta feeling makes it an important entry in his catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blues-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eBlues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/otis-spann-vinyl-records\"\u003eOtis Spann\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Bluesway – BLS-6003\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1967\"\u003e1967\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blues-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eBlues\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chicago-blues\"\u003eChicago Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Popcorn+Man\"\u003ePopcorn Man\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Brand+New+House\"\u003eBrand New House\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Chicago+Blues\"\u003eChicago Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Steel+Mill+Blues\"\u003eSteel Mill Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Down+On+Sarah+Street\"\u003eDown On Sarah Street\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+T'Aint+Nobody's+Bizness+If+I+Do\"\u003eT'Aint Nobody'S Bizness If I Do\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Nobody+Knows+Chicago+Like+I+Do+(Party+Blues)\"\u003eNobody Knows Chicago Like I Do (Party Blues)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+My+Home+Is+On+The+Delta\"\u003eMy Home Is On The Delta\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Otis+Spann+Spann+Blues\"\u003eSpann Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Bluesway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43917085835329,"sku":"7952827","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/LTYyNzUuanBlZw.jpg?v=1778136064"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/otis-spann-vinyl-records\/type_second-hand.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
