Chicken Shack – 40 Blue Fingers Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve (LP, Music On Vinyl)

Featuring Christine Perfect (better known as the future Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac), the British ensemble Chicken Shack offers up a solid set of blues-influenced rock on their 1968 album, fully titled 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve. This album was a promising debut, especially noteworthy for Stan Webbs Freddie King-inspired guitar playing and Christine Perfects vocals. Webb does justice to his mentor with two instrumentals, Kings San-Ho-Zay and his own Webbed Feet, and Christine proves the ideal counterpart: one of the few pianists paying homage to Kings long-time collaborator Sonny Thompson. It remains their finest work. 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve is available as a limited edition on silver & black marbled vinyl. Tracklist: Side A: 1. The Letter 2. Lonesome Whistle Blues 3. When The Train Comes Back 4. San-Ho-Zay 5. King Of The World Side B: 1. See See Baby 2. First Time I Met The Blues 3. Webbed Feet 4. You Aint No Good 5.
