Title: Only half the story
Review: I was excited to see a new book about this great record label. Unfortunately this is a rather one-sided affair based on the extensive interviews with the white label owners who got rich off the hard work of black musicians. Sadly, the legendary stars of Chess are almost all dead so the author depends on some very minor players to tell that side. And as another reviewer noted, the bibliography fails to mention an earlier history of the company, plus it also leaves out the Living Blues magazine history on Chess, which came out a few years ago. This is a good try but uneven.
