Billy Boy Arnold - Goin' To Chicago

Billy Boy Arnold's "Goin' To Chicago" is Chicago blues at it's best. An intriguing 1965 collection, most of it previously unreleased. The first half-dozen sides are the best, full of ringing West Side-styled guitar licks by Mighty Joe Young and Jody Williams and Arnold's insinuating vocals (he rocks "Baby Jane" with a Chuck Berry-inspired fury). "Arnold blows fine in the old Chicago style with a meaty, undiminished attack." -Rolling Stone. This CD retains period interest while remaining entertaining.
