Chicken Shack Boogie

Its no secret that The Chicken and The Egg blog likes an egg or two.  Although I probably didn’t realise just how much that was until looking back at the posts.  Anyhoo.  There doesn’t seem to be enough said about the humble chicken and I’m not the only person who has noticed.

Enter Gavin from Get Involved blog.  Get Involved is the brain child of Pie Man (i refer to his pie making skills) and DJ, Gavin Lucas.  He also co-runs an amazing monthly rock, roll, soul, funk, rhythm and blues night, ‘Gerry’s Joint’ at The Boogaloo in Highgate London.   

He has taken the time to put together a group of songs about the chicken, named ‘Chicken Shack Boogie’ and has decided to exclusively make said compilation available on The Chicken and Egg Blog for free download.  Very exciting.  Oh and if you are wondering who did the amazing artwork, that’d be Roo.  Extremo talent and also co-promoter of Gerry’s Joint.  Here follows the tracklisting and the link.  Enjoy your chicken.
