Free Music Review: Let the rather good times roll
Hit: 4 Stars
I'd have liked this live album to be louder and rowdier, but there is plenty of great music here nonetheless, and a lot to be said for the lean, mean sound.
Koko Taylor is backed by a solid combo which would have been even better if it had included a pianist and perhaps a harmonica player, but guitarists Michael Robinson and Eddie King are terrific, and Taylor herself just can't be beat.
Opening with a really good "Let The Good Times Roll" and winding down with the obligatory "Wang Dang Doodle", "Live From Chicago" also includes a couple of lesser-known songs, like the slow burner "The Devil's Gonna Have A Field Day", and the wonderful "Going Back To Iuka", an irresistable mid-tempo blue shuffle with a thundering syncopated drum beat a la Howlin' Wolf.
Slightly rewritten versions of Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man" and Willie Dixon's "Let Me Love You" are a little bit clich?d, but nowhere near awful, and Taylor's vocals falter the tiniest bit during an otherwise very good "Find A Fool, Bump Her Head", but she gets her own back with a tremendous growling performance of "Come To Mama" and a thoroughly stylish "I'd Rather Go Blind".
A must-have for fans, and casual listeners should find an awful lot to like as well. It could have been just that little bit better (and rowdier), but "B+" Koko Taylor is still head and shoulders above most everybody else.
