A solid debut album by this british blues combo, with Stan Webb on vocals and guitar, and future Fleetwood Mac member and wife of John McVie, Christine Perfect on vocals and keyboards.
The set list consisted of some well interpreted blues covers by B.B. King, Freddie King and John Lee Hooker, as well as some originals by Webb and Perfect, which are either fine instrumentals and/or played in a extended low key mood. An good choice for the real blues traditionalist.
======================================================================
Formed in 1967, Chicken Shack consisted of Stan Webb on guitar/vocal, Andy Sylvester on bass, Christine Perfect later known as Christine McVie, as a part of the great Fleetwood Mac on vocals/keyboards, and Alan Morley on drums.
_40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve_ is an excellent example of the booming late 60's blues scene in & around London. With John Mayall &_ Alexis Korner_ creating benchmarks for the British blues scene, Chicken Shack were absolutely in the right place at the right time.
Stan Webb ,according to me, is another under-rated guitarist of the late 60's British Blues Scene, along the lines of Paul Kossoff (FREE), Les Harvey( STONE THE CROWS), Mick Taylor (BLUESBREAKERS, THE ROLLING STONES) etc.
_Christine McVie_: Yes, she is Mrs. John McVie and she is also a Goddess. A very powerful, Soul-driven voice that's very clearly 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 Christine makes this album a worth buy.
Stan Webb's charismatic guitar playing gives you another good reason to pick up this one.
If you love the blues, simply. GO GET THIS ONE!!
