About The Record:

^ i^Farther On Down the Road by Andrew Odom is a Chicago blues album featuring the singer's powerful, gospel-infused vocals that echo the styles of Bobby Bland and B.B. King, with notable backing from guitarist Earl Hooker and pianist Johnny "Big Moose" Walker on tracks recorded in 1969. Among the highlights are the moody Stormy Monday, the bouncing original Don't Ever Leave Me All Alone, and a crackling cover of Farther Up the Road, which stands out as a fan-favorite alongside other standards like Feel So Good and It's My Own Fault. A unique aspect is its quadraphonic release format, adding an interesting sonic dimension to the blues session, while historically it captures Odom's debut solo effort amid the late-1960s Chicago blues scene, though it received mixed critical reception for its sound quality and was largely overlooked at the time. The album showcases Odom's soulful delivery across a set of blues classics and originals, offering a solid if understated contribution to the genre's electric tradition.
