VA - Blues From The Checker Vaults (2014)
Genre: Blues | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 01:54:31 | 267 MB
Label: One Day Music | Release Year: 2014

The Checker label was founded by brothers Leonard and Philip Chess in 1952, along with the famous Chess label that would prove a driving force in the rise of the blues in the Fifties. One of the reasons for opening another label was to maximise the chance of radio airplay, so Checkers, a board game similar to chess, was the logical choice of name. With the likes of Elmore James, Jimmy Witherspoon and Bo Diddley there’s a treasure trove of music to be found on these discs. Checkers is a board game…you’ll be anything but.
