This review is from: I Won't Give Up (Audio CD)

Atlanta bluesman Chick Willis moved on after Ichiban Records folded and has recorded for various companies including Paula, Rock House and Deep South. `I Won't Give Up' is the only CD he made for Johnny Rawls label and it is a good one, with Rawls providing a fine band (including a two piece horn section) and penning several of the tracks. Of course, this is Chick's album and he also contributed several songs, including the very nice "Hattie" and a pair of straight-ahead blues cuts "Spring Time" and "Hurt Me So". The majority of the disc leans more towards Southern Soul, with tracks like "Sweet Woman/Sweet Man" (a duet with Rawls daughter Destiny) "Keep on Singing the Blues", "Won't Give Up" and "Got to Find a Cure" sticking in the down-home soul vein. Despite the leaning towards soul and the lack of any raunchy tracks, this ranks as one of Chicks finest albums and any of his fans who don't have it yet should get it!
