The 1969 self-titled album by Koko Taylor cemented her place as Chicagos undisputed Queen of the Blues. Scouted by Chess Records house bassist and producer Willie Dixon at Chicagos legendary Sylvios Lounge, Dixon provided his new protg with Wang Dang Doodle, a song that would sell more than a million copies and become her signature tune. Drawing heavily from her recent run of hit 45s, Koko Taylorfeatures, in addition to Wang Dang Doodle, Dixon-penned classics including Twenty-Nine Ways (To My Baby's Door) and Yes, Its Good for You, alongside Taylors own Nitty Gritty, highlighted by Johnny Shines poignant slide guitar. Koko Taylor remains a cornerstone of Chicago electric blues.
