Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Otis Rush & Friends featuring Eric Clapton and Luther Allison: Live At Montreux 1986 on 21 March 2006 on DVD and audio CD
Though born in the Mississippi delta, guitarist Otis Rush was most at home in the 1950s Chicago blues scene, where his deep, rich sound made him not only one of the premier players of his time, but a key influence on later British blues-rockers like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and John Mayall. Rush honors both traditions with this concert recorded at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1986, performing with his fellow Chicago bluesman Luther Allison and their mutual protégé Clapton for a stellar evening of red-hot electric blues.
Eric Clapton was instrumental in bringing Rush to Montreux in 1986.
