In 1948, at the end of his third session for Aristocrat Records, Muddy asked producer and label co-owner Leonard Chess if he could record some tracks “by myself,” without piano accompaniment, the way he originally played when he was still a Mississippi field worker. Chess agreed and Muddy reprised these two songs that he had recorded seven years ea...
Seeking more electrified country blues, Chess recorded this song by Robert Lee McCollum (at Muddy’s urging) for Aristocrat in 1949. The song dated back to 1930, but Nighthawk’s version inspired BB King to cover it in ’56 as “Sweet Little Angel.” BB’s version became a big hit and a blues standard, included on the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s 1995 li...
The first release on the Chess label in 1950 followed a trend of pop hits being recorded by jazz and R&B artists, and this one featured Ammons’ tenor sax playing a jazz version of the million-selling Billy Eckstine vocal line. It made the R&B Top 10 after just two weeks and stayed for two weeks. The Chess brothers gave the record the catalogue numb...
Who were these guys? Actually, they were Ike Turner’s Kings Of Rhythm, in which Brenston was a sax player and vocalist on this 1951 song recorded in Memphis. Some call it the first rock’n’roll song ever recorded, citing the raw, distorted guitar and the automotive theme – a symbol of personal freedom – as qualities that separate it from the jump bl...
This 1951 Chess debut for Chester Burnett, aka Howlin’ Wolf, also emerged from Memphis, with “Moanin’ At Midnight” as the “plug” side. DJs and jukebox listeners eventually flipped it and the B-side became even more popular. “How Many More Years” is another candidate for the world’s first rock’n’roll song, owing to its drums and bass, which are high...
Virtually forgotten today, Mississippi-born Frank Floyd was a blues, folk, and hillbilly one-man band and mimic, who played traveling carnivals and medicine shows, and performed on radio. Sam Phillipsrecorded him in Memphis at Sun Studio in 1951, shortly before selling Floyd’s sides to Chess. This one came out in ’52.
Mabon’s best-known record might be “The Seventh Son,” written by Willie Dixon and covered by many. But this funny and funky 1952 Chess single became the label’s all-time biggest seller in the days before rock’n’roll, sprinkling its gooba dust atop the R&B charts for eight weeks – a good reason for including it this rundown of the best Chess Records...
Marian Walter Jacobs had played in Muddy Waters’ group since 1950 and recorded with Muddy since ’51, but this was the first time he led a session. Walter’s innovative soloing yielded this No.1 R&B smash – still the only blues harmonica instrumental to ever reach that plateau – that stayed on the charts for 20 weeks. It was also the first-ever relea...
A cousin of Muddy Waters, hailing from the same Mississippi plantation, Boyd reunited with his kin in Chicago and they occasionally played together, including in one band with Sonny Boy Williamson II. But compared to Muddy’s rougher guitar style, Eddie the pianist preferred a sleeker approach to the blues. He’d already had a huge hit with “Five Lon...
Recorded in New Orleans, this 1953 Checker single never became a hit, but was covered 12 years later by The Dixie Cups as “Iko Iko,” and gained international recognition through versions by Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, Natasha England, The Belle Stars, and others. James “Sugar Boy” Crawford wrote it by combining phrases from different chants he ...
