This is a real gem...Oits enlists the help of special guests Phillip Walker, Rosco Gordon, Guitar Shorty, Jimmy T-99 Nelson and Joe Houston for a real treat of Blues. If you've been lucky enough to catch the rare appearances of Otis Grand's all star Revue featuring any of these guys you will know what a fantastic mix it is, coupled with the legendary Otis' guitar playing.....
By Unknown.

Born Fred Bishti, 14 February 1950, Beirut, Lebanon. Grand has spent most of his life in the USA, although he lived in France for a few years. He began playing guitar at the age of 13, citing his influences as BornBorn King, T-Bone Walker, Otis Rush and Johnny Otis, and he has played with many San Francisco Bay area blues artists. Otis Grand And The Dance Kings created a sensation when they burst onto the British blues scene in the late 80s, enhanced on the first album (a W.C. Handy award nomination) by the presence of Joe Louis Walker. The second album includes guests Jimmy Nelson, Pee Wee Ellis, and Walker again. A great live attraction, Grand was voted UK Blues Guitarist Of The Year in 1990 and continued to appear in annual polls throughout the 90s due to his constant touring schedule. He now resides in Croydon, Surrey, gateway to the blues!
