Old School by Koko Taylor
The last album from the undisputed Queen Of The Blues. Backed by three different combinations of musicians, Koko tore into straight-ahead, raw Chicago blues that captured the spirit of the classic, tough Windy City sound. From foot-stomping barnburners to powerful slow blues, Koko proved once and for all that her blues are joyous and life-affirming, powerful and soul-stirring. Nominated for a Grammy.
