Description
‘Let’s Play Chess (A Chess Records Anthology)’ is een verzamelalbum ter gelegenheid van het 75-jarig bestaan van het legendarische Chess label.
De compilatie bevat een selectie van vijfentwintig door Grammy-winnaar, drummer en Chess-kenner Steve Jordan geselecteerde Chess classics. De geschiedenis van Chess Records is tegelijk het verhaal van Amerikaanse muziek: van de Mississippi blues en de elektrische sound van Chicago tot vroege rock-’n-roll, en van jazz tot soul en R&B. Deze anthologie representeert dat allemaal met de meest invloedrijke en indrukwekkende opnames uit de Chess-catalogus, o.a. Muddy Waters (‘(I’m Your) Hoochie Coochie Man’), Etta James (‘At Last’), Chuck Berry (‘Maybellene’, ‘Johnny B. Goode’) en Howlin’ Wolf (‘Smokestack Lightnin’’).
Deze 2LP uitgave is geperst op zwart vinyl.
