South Side Chicago

Chicago's tangled web of micro labels and small time players is no better illustrated than by the career of Otis Brown. In his ten years on the scene, Brown ran four imprints, warmed stages for Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and Alvin Cash, greased the palms of the city's top DJs, and wrote a theme song for his beloved southside. Southside Chicago collects the complete 1960s output of this stalwart performer.
