Koko TAYLOR - I Got What It Takes 1977

Koko TAYLOR- I Got What It Takes 1977
1997 Issue. MCD 09328

Blues

With 18 tracks spanning 1964-1971, this compilation receives the nod over the shorter Koko Taylor (eight cuts double off anyway). Opening with her nails-tough "I Got What It Takes," the disc boasts "Wang Dang Doodle," several sides never before on album, and the strange, previously unissued "Blue Prelude." Four 1971 tracks from Taylor's tough to find second Chess album, Basic Soul, are also aboard (including "Bills, Bills and More Bills" and her queenly version of "Let Me Love You Baby"). Producer Willie Dixon's guiding hand is apparent everywhere. By Bill Dahl, All Music Guide.
