08 Burning Fire (Lil' Ed on voc)

(4:30) (Otis Spann)
Featuring: Lil' Ed (voc, guitar) and Kenny Smith (drums)

"Burning Fire," which debuted as one of piano immortal Otis Spann's contributions to the landmark 1966 anthology series Chicago/The Blues/Today!, elicits a stunning vocal from Lil' Ed as Johnny Iguana tears it up on the ivories. Spann's version backed him only with drummer S.P. Leary, a stripped down format close to Johnny's heart (he constructed the Claudettes around the same highly flexible piano/drums lineup). - Bill Dahl, Liners
