Title Note

Liner Note Author: Dave McAleer.

While the men who populated the roster of Chess Records during the legendary label's heyday have historically received the lion's share of attention -- not much of a surprise, given that Chess played host to Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry -- its distaff acts nevertheless deserve more of the spotlight than they've been given; the 20-track Chess Divas is a good start, assembling both major hits and unjustly neglected highlights that capture the full scope of the Chess sound during the 1960s. Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me" -- the best record that Aretha Franklin never made -- is the obvious marquee inclusion here, trailed closely by Etta James' "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle." But the set also showcases lesser-known classics like Sugar Pie DeSanto's "Slip in Mules," a pair of cuts from the criminally unknown Chicago soul chanteuse Mitty Collier ("I Had a Talk With My Man Last Night" and "Sharing You"), and even "This Time Tomorrow," a standout from Tammy Montgomery -- far better known for her Motown-era work as Tammi Terrell. ~ Jason Ankeny
