Otis Clay is one of the premier deep soul and gospel singers working today. His raw, fiery vocals drive an energetic and danceable blend of soul, r&b and blues in the tradition of such deep soul singers as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke.

The Butanes are formidable bluesmen in their own right, winning City Pages Best Blues Band award 5 of the last 7 years. The list of nationally acclaimed artists the band has backed up is long and varied. But they never sound finer than when they are with Walker, as is evidenced on Walker’s other two recordings. This is a show that just doesn’t happen often enough.
