On the aptly titled Sitting on Top of the Blues, Rush is indeed a bluesman on the top of his game. He sounds strong and vital, his harp playing is incomparable, and the songs are perfectly suited. Bobby Rush is big, he’s bad and he’s back. Watch out!

Without a doubt one of the hardest working 85-year-olds in the music business, Bobby Rush is indeed Sitting on Top of the Blues. But these are not the blues of a bygone era. The album combines traditional storytelling blues with plenty of R&B and funk for a soul shaking showcase of Rush’s talents.
