Right Place, Wrong Time is a 1976 album by blues singer and guitarist Otis Rush. Although regarded as one of his finest recordings, the album was not issued until five years after it was recorded.

Background

The music on this album was originally recorded in San Francisco in 1971 for Capitol Records, who declined to release it at the time. It was originally released on the independent Bullfrog label after Rush bought the tapes. In 1986 the rights were acquired by Hightone. Eugene Chadbourne of Allmusic compares Capitol's decision not to release the album to a decision to turn down The Doors on the grounds that Jim Morrison had "no charisma", and says that "[o]ne can imagine the tapes practically smoldering in their cases, the music is so hot". As well as a selection of blues numbers, the album includes a cover of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia".
