Amos Milburn Artist Snapshot:

Amos Milburn's recordings from the late 1940s and early '50s are among the first vital stirrings of rock & roll. Texas born and bred, Milburn's piano-driven mixture of R&B, blues, and boogie created musical ripples still heard decades after his passing. Unfortunately, Milburn's hard-drinking persona--exemplified in hits such as "Bad, Bad Whiskey" and "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer"--also led to his death at only 52 years of age.

Title Note

Recording information: Los Angeles, California (1946 - 1951).

Although the two-disc THE CHICKEN SHACK BOOGIE MAN isn't perfect--it strangely omits what is perhaps Amos Milburn's most famous tune, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"--it is the most comprehensive Milburn collection available. The set trumps the skimpy budget-priced single-disc compilations in terms of selection, and offers better-than-average sound and liner notes to boot. Although Milburn never had the crossover breakthrough of contemporaries such as Charles Brown and Chicago blues mainstay Otis Spann, his hard-driving piano boogie and hard-drinking lyrics epitomize the rougher end of jump blues. And yet Milburn, like Brown, was capable of soulful, mature ballads ("Everything I Do Is Wrong"), adding weight to silly novelties like "Atomic Baby" and hedonistic rockers like "Down the Road Apiece."
