Chicken Shack Boogie
Introduction "'''Chicken Shack Boogie'''" is a 1948 jump-boogie song by the West Coast blues artist Amos Milburn. It was the first of four number-one hits on the R&B chart by Milburn. It was the B-side of a 78-RPM single, the A-side of which, "It Took a Long, Long Time", reached number nine on the same chart.In 1956, Milburn released "Chicken Shack", a faster rock-and-roll version (subsequently included on his 1957 album ''Let's Have a Party''). This version runs about 2:30 and is sometimes titled "Chicken Shack Boogie" on later compilation albums. Earl Palmer was the drummer on this version.
