from the album Have Mercy Uncle Sam!
My pick for this week's #MusicWomenWednesday is a video from the 1967 American Folk and Blues Festival. This is Koko Taylor doing a live version of her great hit from the previous year, backed by a stellar group of musicians including Little Walter on harmonica, Hound Dog Taylor on guitar, Dillard Crume on bass and Odie Payne on drums.

This line-up even visited Finland, playing a show at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki on October 12, 1967.

Musical Interlude: The hot humid weather we're having here has put me in a blues mood...and now I'm remembering this impressive duet...
"Insane Asylum," performed by Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor.
Various Artists, The Best of Chess Blues, 1987 on Chess / MCA
Great 2xLP 80s compilation of the post-war blues that made Chess such a critical label, issued by MCA who acquired the rights to the Chess catalog in the mid-eighties.
My copy—via Mel’s Record Shop in Amesbury MA—is a 1987 pressing by MCA Records’ plant in Gloversville, NY.

I love the way Koko could take a word and just pierce through everything with that delivery.
Musical Interlude: Happened to listen to this lady today, one of the all-time greats. She had pipes like no other, and here she is declaring herself to the world....
"I'm a Woman," performed by Koko Taylor.
