<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt" lang="EN-US"><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#FFFFFF">In
1968 Chicken Shack were a major signing to Mike Vernon’s now
legendary Blue Horizon label.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">
</span>Led by the mercurial Stan Webb on guitar and vocals, Chicken
Shack were a band brimming full of talent, far outweighing the
bands, groups and solo performers purveying the Blues at that time
– a musical tradition in many forms, taken from the “Folk Roots
of Black America”.<br>
The late sixties were a prolific time for Chicken Shack with their
first two albums “40 Blue Fingers Freshly Packed And Ready to
Serve” and “OK Ken” storming into the UK top twenty, whilst
the now legendary single “Rather Go Blind” made it to the top 3
of the UK singles chart and was followed by the next chart hit,
“Tears in the Wind”.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt" lang="EN-US"><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#FFFFFF">Stan’s
blistering guitar style matched with a huge stage presence have made
Chicken Shack a firm favourite of rock and blues fans everywhere.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">
</span>Since those heady days of the late sixties a further fifteen
albums have been released together with numerous compilations
proving that Stan really is “The Man”.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">
</span>Stan puts a lot of his blues style down to the close
association he had with blues legend Freddie King.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">
</span>Chicken Shack became the first band outside of America to
back and tour with Freddie King when he visited the UK in 1968 and
gave Stan first hand advice on technique in singing and playing.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span lang="EN-US"><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#FFFFFF"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Throughout
his career Stan Webb has played and/or recorded with the very best,
including Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Howling Wolf, Taj Mahal,
Peter Green and Canned Heat, whom he joined on guitar for a UK tour.</span></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt" lang="EN-US"><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#FFFFFF">Since
the late 60’s through to the current day Stan Webb and Chicken
Shack show no sign of slowing down, playing in the UK and
continually touring the length and breadth of Europe and further
afield to great acclaim.<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">
</span>In 1997 Stan received the Blue Heart Award for services to
blues in Germany, an award that had gone to BB King the previous
year; a glowing testament to Stan Webb and his music.</font></span>
