The great Chico Chism is honored with this reissue of 1970s Chicago sides. The CD contains seven tracks Chism recorded with The Wolf Gang (Howlin' Wolf's band) shortly after Howlin' Wolf died in 1976. Saxophonist Eddie Shaw does double duty as vocalist on all the tracks, while Chism glues the tunes together with his expert timing and slick rudiments. The bulk of the other tracks were culled from Chism's Cher-Kee Records label (now defunct), and include four tracks by Highway Man, two by Eddie Burks, and a 1978 recording of "Coo Fannie Coo," the only song in the collection that features Chism on both drums and vocals. The album's both a tribute and a testament to the musical legacy of Chism, who's still kicking around the blues bag after all these years. 1. I Don't Trust Nobody- EDDIE SHAW & WOLF GANG 2.
