It featured mainly stuff from the first four Chicken Shack albums, an exhortation from Stan on the liner notes to get hold of his new CD Changes, and some annoying fade outs.These recordings are with Christine Perfect

Chicken Shack - O.K. Ken (1969) [RE-POST]

Chicken Shack are a British blues band, founded in the mid-1960s by Stan Webb (guitar and vocals), Andy Silvester (bass guitar), and Alan Morley (drums), who were later joined by Christine Perfect (vocals and keyboards) in 1968.

The band were formed in April 1965 , naming themselves after Jimmy Smith's Back at the Chicken Shack album. Chicken shacks (chicken restaurants) had also by then frequently been mentioned in blues and rhythm and blues songs, as in Amos Milburn's hit, "Chicken Shack Boogie". Their first concert was at the 1967 National Blues and Jazz Festival at Windsor and they were signed by the Blue Horizon record label in the same year.

Stan Webb's Chicken Shack-Plucking good 1993

 

 Extrait from customer review; .....With regard to this album "Plucking Good", I must admit that I was unfamiliar with it, having got tired of the Shack when Stan decided to go commercial- as a heavy rock guitarist he is very unoriginal compared to his beautiful earlier blues work- and I did not expect a great deal when I sampled the tracks available here, but, if the rest of the tracks on the album are anything like as good as what I have heard so far, this album is like the old, original Chicken Shack- superb blues. .....
great modern blues!

The finest Chicken Shack album...ever, actually. While their old lp's
from the '60's and '70's are pretty good, Webb's vocals were often
downright irritating. He has pretty much rectified this problem on this release, and the results are excellent. If you only buy one Chicken Shack cd, this is the one to get.

Chicken Shack - Accept (1970)

The band were formed in April 1965 , naming themselves after Jimmy Smith's Back at the Chicken Shack album. Chicken shacks (chicken restaurants) had also by then frequently been mentioned in blues and rhythm and blues songs, as in Amos Milburn's hit, "Chicken Shack Boogie". Their first concert was at the 1967 National Blues and Jazz Festival at Windsor and they were signed by the Blue Horizon record label in the same year.

Talented guitarist Stan Webb is regarded by many as one of the great un-sung heroes of British blues music. He was born in London on February 3, 1946 and at a young age moved to Kidderminster with his parents. During the 1950's, he started playing guitar in local skiffle bands and eventually formed his first group called The Blue Four. By this time, Webb was heavily influenced by American blues and R&B music and later formed Sounds Of Blue.

Chicken Shack enjoyed modest commercial success, with Christine Perfect being voted Best Female Vocalist in the Melody Maker polls, two years running.
