Unsung shredder Osee Anderson is a burly Chicagoan who got his start on Alligator Records sessions as Lonnie Brooks’ lead and rhythm guitarist. Three self-produced records later, the newly-christened frontman pays respects to his mentor, Willie Dixon, with attention to speedster percussion, glossy keys and off-mic wails; much better summed up with a cue from the title of his debut LP, Old School, Nu School.
