Otis Taylor plays and sings the Blues out of a deep gravelly voice that confers his music an irresistible power of attraction; attraction for the truth told by the Bluesman. It critically shows a man grappling with today's life villainies and the American society; a man possessed by the stories he tells to the point of being known as "the inventor of Trance Blues".
