Embark on a blues-infused journey back to Chicago's gritty music scene as I, Gina Coleman from Misty Blues, share my profound admiration for the one and only Koko Taylor. Feel the reverberating power of her 1975 Alligator Records debut that kicks off our exploration into the depth and versatility of this legendary vocalist. Her ability to command a song with growls that can both intimidate and intrigue is unparalleled, and it's these qualities that anchor our latest Queens of the Blues tribute.

This sonic voyage not only reveres Taylor's earth-shaking anthems but also cherishes her tender, emotive renditions, like the cover of Magic Sam's poignant 1968 tune. As we navigate the heart and soul of Taylor's legacy, each track in this episode encapsulates the unyielding passion of the 'Voodoo Woman' herself. Join me for an auditory experience that celebrates a voice capable of making the sky weep and a spirit that continues to inspire blues enthusiasts and novices alike.
