Bobby Rush

Chicken Heads: A 50-Year History of Bobby Rush chronicles the career of the Louisiana-born, Arkansas-raised blues legend who has befriended and shared stages with the likes of Etta James, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.  The 4-CD box set takes its title from the 1971 Galaxy Records single that earned Rush a No. 34 berth on the Billboard R&B Singles chart, but Galaxy isn't the only label represented.  Chicken Heads, with nearly 100 tracks and almost 5 hours of music,  also draws on the multiple Grammy nominee's varied recordings for Checker, Jewel, Philadelphia International, LaJam, Urgent and his own Deep Rush label.  Chicken Heads is graced with a 32-page color booklet featuring new liner notes from Bill Dahl and testimonials from friends and fans of Rush including Mavis Staples, Keb' Mo', Elvin Bishop, Denise LaSalle, Leon Huff, Al Bell, and more.
