5.0 out of 5 stars 40 Blue Fingers!, December 19, 2003

This review is from: Forty Blue Fingers, Freshley Packed and (Audio CD)

Formed in 1967, Chicken Shack consisted of Stan Webb on guitar/vocal, Andy Sylvester on bass, Christine Perfect a.k.a Christine McVie, later a part of the great Fleetwood Mac on vocals/keyboards, and Alan Morley on drums.

Webb is ,according to me, a really under-rated guitarist of the late 60's British Blues Scene , just like Les Harvey ( Stone The Crows), Mick Taylor ( The Bluesbreakers)...

Christine is a Godess. She's like Whoa!!! An amazing voice. Powerful, Soul-driven..definitely sounds very influenced by the great John Mayall.

Chicken Shack made their public debut at the Great Britain's National Blues & Jazz Festival at Windsor along with Fleetwood Mac on August 13, 1967-- "There were two stages at Windsor, the main one an open-air ramshackle structure, the other inside a marquee. Fleetwood Mac had their initiation on the main stage but much was made of Chicken Shack's tented debut."

But all said and done it's Christine who makes this album a real pick. I know of people who'd kill for a voice like that . very powerful and yet very smooth [and] soulful.

Stan Webb's charismatic guitar playing gives you another good reason to pick up this one. Check out his vocals on the Eurreal "Little Brother" Montgomery cover, First Time I met The Blues. Buddy Guy's version being the most popular.

If you love the blues, simply. GO GET THIS ONE!!

3 1/2

Just the fact that this blues-rock still bristles with vibrancy over forty years after it was recorded says a lot. Embellishing just enough of oh-so-familiar structure to keep things consistently heartfelt and mostly engaging, it's one of only a handful in the endlessly repetitious genre worthwhile to me.
