  • Description

    The Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor, is one of the genre's best-selling and most recognizable artists. As much a blues icon as BB King or Buddy Guy, she commands a lot of attention when she comes out with a new title. For people all over the world, she is the blues and every new Koko recording is occasion to rejoice. This is her first new studio release in over seven years and a fresh new reason for music fans everywhere to celebrate. The album takes listeners back to the rough and tumble blues of Koko Taylor's early Chicago days, as she teams up with an all-star band of the city's finest players. Koko conjures deep blues spirit from back in the day with five new originals and revitalized classics by Willie Dixon, Magic Sam, Memphis Minnie and more. It's gritty, unvarnished "old school" blues and proud of it, as Koko infuses every track with ageless energy and passion.
