MEL BROWN Chicken Fat (Verve By Request Series limited edition 9-track LP manufactured at Third Man Pressing in Detroit, MI and pressed on 180-gram audiophile quality vinyl. Guitarist Mel Brown's 1967 Impulse! debut is possibly both thefunkiest 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. Especiallynoteworthy are the title track, "Greasy Spoon" and the simmering lament of "I'm Goin' to Jackson". Audio transferred from the analogue tapes. Gatefold picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed. Recommended)
