40 Blue Fingers was the debut album from British blues group Chicken Shack. Vocalist Christine Perfect is better known as Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. (UK:12)
"If you haven't heard of Chicken Shack you are in for a treat if you like the blues. Check out Christine Perfect's perfect vocals and add this to superb guitar work."
"40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed & Ready To Serve performed by forty dextrous digits of four apt musicians doesn’t disappoint. Probably the songs aren’t quite groundbreaking, but they are imbued with that bluesy spirit all through."
"Great to listen to Christine Perfect, but the album is not especially good. The other vocalist is annoying."
"40 Blue Fingers is an excellent example of the booming late 60s blues scene in and around London. With John Mayall and Alexis Korner creating benchmarks for the British blues scene, Chicken Shack were absolutely in the right place at the right time. Stan Webb is an under-rated guitarist of the late 60s British blues scene. When all is said and done Christine makes this album worth a buy. Stan Webb's charismatic guitar playing gives you another good reason to pick it up. If you love the blues, simply go get this one."
"A classic album of the late 60s British blues boom. They were contemporaries of Fleetwood Mac, so if you like early Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall, give this a go, you won't be disappointed. It still sounds fresh today. If you're going to start with any album of the Shack it has to be here. Clear intelligent blues guitar work; you won't be disappointed in the results if you're into the blues."
"Chicken Shack provided some of the best British blues around in the 60s. They had the added bonus of a fabulous female vocalist in Christine Perfect, her smooth, languorous voice weaving in and out of the melodies."
