Who is the guy here between Muddy and Otis? Is that Marshall Chess?

Happy birthday, Otis! It would be tough to pick out a particular recording to play in his honor; nearly everything the guy played on was pure blues gold (and that's no coincedence).

I don't remember the name of the guy between Muddy and Spann, but he's British, if memory serves me correctly. I'll have a troll through things here - I have that picture somewhere and I think it was taken when Muddy was in the UK.
