(self-titled) LP

Calling this a self-titled album is almost a technicality since it's really a run of Koko Taylor's Chess singles gathered under one name, anchored by "Wang Dang Doodle," the Willie Dixon tune that became her signature, cut with Buddy Guy on guitar and Dixon himself on backing vocals. AllMusic rates it among the strongest documents of her Chess years, which tracks: her voice muscles past the arrangements the same way it earned her the title Queen of the Blues. This Acoustic Sounds pressing puts her sharpest Chicago sides in one place.
