Spann / Lockwood obsession

[Diabetes Jackson]

I'm pretty sure I need some professional help, but the only music I ever want to listen to lately are the two albums Otis Spann cut with Robert Lockwood, Walking The Blues and Otis Spann Is The Blues. I own these both on vinyl (in the case of Is the Blues, an original copy AND a 180g reissue) and I have a few questions --

I'm looking for nerdy information about these recording dates (both recorded in 1960, even though Walking The Blues was released a decade later, iirc) - what gear was used, what were the circumstances, etc. Does anyone have a CD version? I'd buy a CD version if the booklet went into these sorts of details (what amp was used, etc). I realize how geeky this is, but, longshot or not, still really wanna know - I'm sure some of you can relate.

My other question is - can anyone recommend any further 'duo' type situations like this? I just love being able to pick out who's doing what, as opposed to full band dates (not that I don't love full band albums). Something truly intoxicating about Lockwood's jazzy, tasteful runs and Otis's brilliant piano playing...I need more!!

How's that Muddy / Otis live Collaboration album from '58? I hear the sound quality is bad but that's never stopped me before...

Hey DJ,
Cannot say what all albumms these may be on, but form your post I'm guessing you might like 2 tracks by Memphis Minnie, one is the older version of Me and My Chauffeur (not the one with Little Walter et al -even tho THAT is one of my faves) , the other is (In My Cabin) Down by the Riverside.
I think you will like the interplay between the 2 guitars and the singer.
