Otis Clay demonstrates how secular roots music can walk hand in the hand with fervent gospel on The Gospel Truth. While the sentiment and lyrics are purely devotional, Clay doesn't cast off his blues and soul background, which steeps this material in gritty, instrumental truth. ---Roch Parisien, AllMusic Review

During the mid-1960s, Chicago was one of the nation´s leading soul recording capitols. Otis Clay was one of the Windy City´s top young R&B singers when the style was at its absolute artistic peak, the intensity of his gospel-enriched deep soul attack startling in its vitality and richness. Today, he´s virtually a global ambassador for the timeless Chicago soul sound. Respect Yourself, Clay´s new Blind Pig CD, is a thrilling indication of what Otis sounds like in concert. Recorded at the annual Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland in 2003 (it was his third consecutive starring appearance), the soul legend was backed by his frequent musical cohorts: Chicago´s own Platinum Band, nine pieces strong, led by guitarist "Hollywood" Scott and skin-tight in their groovemaking, and immaculate backup vocalists Theresa Davis and Diane Madison. This is what genuinely passionate soul music should always sound like. ---blindpigrecords.com

Piazza Blues 
Bellinzona, Tessin, Switzerland

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. A master showman, Otis Clay stays in demand for festival and concert appearances in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
