Eight extra tracks from Ike's rare first recording The Spot Is Hot! on this reissue by Ike Cosse, an authentic living bluesman living and breathing amongst us who is still working and playing… he's the real deal.

I have heard old timers on the blues scene bemoaning the lack of the 'real deal' and staying at home, only listening to old records, even shutting down their fanzines in a huff! But if we only have one artist left like Ike Cosse then we have real, authentic bluesmen living and breathing amongst us. Most importantly, working and playing (when and where they are given the chance…). If you have heard already tracks 9 to 16 then you are privileged. These tracks are from the self released album that Ike made to promote himself, called The Spot Is Hot. It might have very unfairly disappeared, but it at least got the deal with me that produced the album from which tracks 1 to 8 are taken – The Lowdown Throwdown.
