  Koko Taylor - An Audience with the Queen

  This recording from 1987 is aptly subtitled "An Audience with the Queen". The late Koko Taylor was undoubtedly the Queen of Chicago blues as this show demonstrates and can be attested by anyone who saw her NZ tour around this period. She won an unprecedented twenty-five W C Handy Blues Awards and up until her death in June 2009 at age eighty, she was still on the road performing seventy shows a year. One of the highlights is a six minute version of her 1965 hit "Wang Dang Doodle" (Alligator)
