Johnny Otis’s long and winding career began in the 40s, via big band jazz, before slowing evolving into a masterful soul, R&B and R&R artist – backing the likes of Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton (that’s his backing band on “Hound Dog”) and Johnny Guitar Watson, whose style this particular album most resembles. All the while recording numerous sides under his own name, some on his own label, even hosting his own TV show, throughout the 50s and 60s. The All Music Guide calls him a blues “renaissance man,” and his resume is the pudding’s proof. Like many know-nothing 60s kids, I only learned of Johnny Otis’ existence via his son, teenage blues phenom Shuggie Otis (a.k.a. Johnny Otis, Jr.), on Junior’s major label debut with Al Kooper, 1969’s Kooper Session(HERE). That same year, Shuggie was tearing things up on this fantastic R&B/blues workout, Cold Shot! – an invigorating blast of high-quality, old school rockin’ soul & blues. Just give a listen to the opening track for a taste that should whet your appetite for this LP’s professionally loose collection of 50s boogie blues and subversive 60s black soul. - Willard's Wormholes .com archives...
..."The Signifyin' Monkey Part 1" has some daringly profane language for 1969...and a drawling spoken delivery that anticipated rap ...Allmusic
