Albert King & Otis Rush

The Profile

Collaborative credit for the 1969 Chess album Door To Door, pairing American left‑handed blues giants Albert King (1923–1992) and Otis Rush (1934–2018). Influential stylists in electric/Chicago blues.

Both artists are left-handed guitarists and singers. Door To Door was issued by Chess in October 1969 (LP 1538) and reissued by Universal in 1998 with 32‑bit digital remastering. The album features 14 tracks—8 by Albert King and 6 by Otis Rush—drawn from earlier sessions, highlighting King’s emotive phrasing and Rush’s dramatic vocals and refined guitar work.

A single, glowing review hails Door To Door as an extraordinary slice of modern street blues. It highlights both left-handed icons—Albert King’s emotive, incisive phrasing and Otis Rush’s dramatic, elegant vocals and solos. Details include the original Chess 1969 release, later Universal 1998 remaster, and a 14-track split (8 King, 6 Rush).
