title? Koko Taylor - The Earthshaker | [Black Vinyl LP] | Alligator
Description:
The Earthshaker is a blues album by Koko Taylor, released in 1978 by Alligator Records.Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: "Considering its size, Taylor's voice has never been what you'd call rich - she flubs the pitch quite a bit, and on the slow ones she's often sounded flat emotionally as well. But it retains amazing presence - by now it's deepened and roughened so much that her late work for Chess sounds girlish by comparison. Two or three of the slow ones here really drag, always a crippling flaw in Chicago blues, but the uptempo stuff is exemplary - the songs are fun as songs, and the guitar on her latest remake of "Wang Dang Doodle" is ace." Artist: Koko Taylor Genre: Blues / Gospel Label: Alligator Price: £12.99
