Brown, Mel: Chicken Fat (Verve By Request) LP
| Availability: | In stock |
Guitarist Mel Brown's 1967 Impulse! debut is possibly the funkiest and most unique album ever released on the label. Brown's clean blues picking style-honed while playing in John Lee Hooker's and T-Bone Walker's bands-marinates funkily with the swinging soul-jazz organ of Gerald Wiggins. The title track and the simmering lament of "I'm Goin' to Jackson" standout. Verve By Request Series features transfers from analog tapes, remastered on 180-gram vinyl, and pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
