All Your Love (I Miss Loving)

Otis Rush, 1958, from single. Solo by Otis Rush.

Rush shifts from a tense minor-key vocal into a shuffle break, his vibrato wide and his tone biting.

All Your Love shows Otis Rush shifting from a tense minor-key vocal into a shuffle break, his vibrato wide and his tone biting. The contrast between the brooding verses and the upbeat shuffle gives the song dramatic tension. Rush's playing is intense and expressive, with bends and vibrato that give every note emotional weight. The song became a key piece of the West Side Chicago blues sound, and Eric Clapton recorded it with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Listen for the shift from the slow minor section into the shuffle, where the tempo picks up and Rush's guitar takes on a brighter, driving energy.
