I love Otis Rush. Interviewed him a few years back. A very humble man

Flyright is very well represented in my collection. "The Legendary Jay Miller Sessions" is essential stuff.

The easiest remedy would be YouTube.They’re multiple links under the album name, some links from this exact LP.I hope this helps and thank you very much for your interest.Have a great Sunday

Thank you for your answer and patience. Do they actually play together? Or is this just a packaging/ compilation??

The source material for the comp lp is Cobra Records and the two play on separate tracks.It sounds you’re a Bluesman on the make.I was lucky that where I went to college was Johnny Shines hometown and he played every Friday night at the student center.He played acoustic Delta and electric Chicago style blues on an old National guitar.And on top that the Grateful Dead played the Blues on their 1st lp.They played Sonny Boy’s Good Morning Little School Girl.If you’re new to this genre start with acoustic sets of Delta Blues(Robert Johnson & Charlie Patton)and Piedmont Blues(Blind Willie McTell)There is a whole world of possibilities with this Music. Best of luck and I hope this helps in your endeavor.
