1973 CLEAN ORIGINAL BLUES BUSTER COLLECTIBLE!
CHICKEN SHACK
UNLUCKY BOY
\ USA - London Records (royal blue w/silver letters) - XPS 632
MINT CLEAN ....SCARCE original 1973 first pressing vinyl in CLEAN condition...issued just a year after the powerful 'Imagination Lady' Lp ...
Original 1973 release, Chicken Shack's Unlucky Boy finds guitarist/vocalist/songwriter and band founder Stan Webb in fine form. Only drummer Paul Hancox remains from the heavy blues trio that played on the year before Imagination Lady album. Webb contributes six originals, and even though they are much in the vein of early 70's Savoy Brown (a band he would join just a year later), his approach here is much more subtle and controlled than on his last effort. From Mayall's Blues Breakers, Chris Mercer's reeds are double tracked to sound like a strong backing section, bringing a tough R&B sound to the mix, and drummer Hancox is a controlled powerhouse. Webb also reigns in his impulse to overextend guitar solos so prevalent on Imagination Lady, whipping off tight, controlled leads instead. The opening trio of Webb-penned tunes shows some of his best songwriting with the blues-jam "Prudence's Party" a terrific capsule of Webb's stinging, gritty guitar style. The album harkens back to a particular time in British blues that is charming in its anything goes attitude. That helps make this one of Stan Webb's more consistent and successful offerings
