Mel Brown
Chicken Fat
Verve By Request/ Impulse A-9152 – re-issue LP on 180g vinyl in a thick gatefold jacket

Guitarist Mel Brown’s 1967 Impulse! Debut is possibly the funkiest and most unique album ever released on the label. His clean blues picking style – honed while playing in John Lee Hooker’s and T-Bone Walker’s bands – marinates funkily with the swinging soul-jazz organ of Gerald Wiggins. The title track and the simmering lament of “I’m Goin’ to Jackson” standout. Other musicians heard include Herb Ellis, Arthur Wright, Ronald Brown, & Paul Humphrey.Verve By Request Series features transfers from the analog tapes and is pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit MI.
