Post Description
Chicago-based brothers Leonard & Phil Chess financed Aristocrat Records in the late '40s, refocusing it on jazz and blues recordings, and by the time they changed the name to Chess Records in 1950, the label had a classic blues roster that included the likes of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, and Howlin’ Wolf, to name just a few. And things grew, with classic artists like Etta James, Bo Diddley, Solomon Burke, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, and a whole host of others releasing sides through Chess or one its sub-imprints, Checker and Cadet. And the story kept going for a couple of decades, until Chess became one of the most important labels in the history of pop music in the 20th century. It’s all presented here in this four-disc, 20-year retrospective of the label and its affiliates. It starts with with Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats' iconic “Rocket 88” and travels through to Chuck Berry's novelty hit “My Ding-a-Ling,” with a whole lot of historic stops in between the two. It makes for a wonderful and essential journey.
