Free Music Notes for Earthshaker
Free Music Review: High octane, rockin' "bar" blues
Hit: 5 Stars
I've recently been on a Koko Taylor binge, and of the four CDs that I've given repeated listens to, "The Earthshaker" is by far and away my favorite. This CD is a testament to why she affectionately is dubbed "The Queen of the Chicago Blues." The liner notes state that "Koko's music is pure, unabashed bar music," and "Earthshaker" provides plenty of ammunition in support of that argument. Many of the songs, including "Let The Good Times Roll," "Spoonful," "Hey Bartender," "You Can Have My Husband" "Wang Dang Doodle," and her remake of Muddy Waters' "I'm A Man" ("I'm A Woman") are classic electric blues standards. That being said, my favorite song on the CD is the more laid back "Walking The Backstreets," which I had not heard before I listened to "Earthshaker." Given her incredible voice, which is both gravelly and sweet, and her intuitive understanding of electric blues, I find it hard to believe that Koko Taylor ever has made a bad CD. "Earthshaker" is awesome and highly recommended. "Force of Nature," "Royal Blue," and "Old School" also are good CDs by this top notch blues diva.
