Chicken Shack Forty Blue Fingers Freshly Packed & Ready To Serve (Vinyl, Blue Horizon Records, 1968) ****
Genre: Blues; rock
Places I remember: JB Hi-Fi
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: When The Train Comes Back
Gear costume: You Ain't No Good; See See Baby
Active compensatory factors: Chicken Shack's 1968 debut album is a glorious thing.

Twenty-five year old Christine Perfect (soon to be Christine McVie) is terrific on piano and Stan Webb's vocals and guitar are the real thing, maan. These two are ably supported by Andy Sylvester (bass) and Dave Bidwell (drums).
That wonderful voice of Christine's is a thing of beauty and a force of nature. It's also good to have that female perspective in a blues band - she contributes two key songs from a woman's point of view that are invaluable to Chicken Shack's relevance and longevity.
Where do they all belong? I must search out more of Christine McVie's solo albums. That voice is soooooo good.
