Immigrant brothers in Chicago struggled to found this great label, which went on to become the home of leading blues artists (such as Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James and many other) for decades. Chess celbrated its 50th Anniversary in 1997, and this excellent collection is a tribute, featuring highlights from Chess reissue CDs from 1947 to 1967. It includes notes about the label and artists, lots of photos, and P/V/G arrangements of 20 classic blues tunes: Baby, What You Want Me To Do * Blues With A Feeling * Fattening Frogs for Snakes * Help Me * I'm A Man * Sugar Mama * Sugar Sweet * That's All Right * Twenty-Four Hours * You Shook Me * more.
