Bluestone on Johnny Otis

Johnny Otis' Slo Fuse is the reason he must be on this blog.  Otis began his musical career playing in swing bands and orchestras, but found his own band in 1945.  Slo Fuse has a piano and plenty of brass, but also a great lead guitar part.  The guitar soloing carries through most of the song, interrupted only by a cheesy saxophone solo.  The intro, in particular, is just bad ass blues, it's great.  Otis is primarily a pianist, so I don't know how much credit this is to him, but nonetheless, it's good.  Unfortunately, i can't find this song in any source where i can legally post it, but buy Slo Fuse on Amazon.com.
Johnny Otis was born to Greek immigrants in Vallejo, California.  Otis' family did not have a musical background and he, too, pursued interests other than music, including politics, hosting a radio show, and owning various shops and clubs.  Along with all this, of course, he was a successful musician.  He recorded a big band hit called Harlem Nocturne, and his biggest hit was Willie and the Hand Jive.  Honestly, Willie and the Hand Jive is awful; I can't stand it.  It is hokey and boring, it's a pop song as far as I'm concerned.  I prefer his bolder tunes like Bad Luck Shadow and Low Down Dirty Dog Blues, which I believe is originally a Son House tune.  Again, I can't find these tunes online, my apologies.  I own them on the Best of the Blues: 50 Favorites CD.
Otis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 for his songwriting and producing with Elvis Presley.
