Chicken Shack-"That´s The Way We Are" (1978)

Chicken Shack was a British band remembered for its keyboardist, Christine Perfect, who after leaving it became part of Fleetwood Mac without being a top band, it was quite popular during the late 60s, placing two albums within the top 20 recordings from Great Britain.
However, their leader was not Christine Perfect but the fantastic guitarist Stan Webb, who drove audiences crazy thanks to the fact that she could mix with the public during concerts, since she used a guitar cable that measured about 30 meters.
Stan Webb's is one of those musicians who go on and on before any obstacle that comes his way. In the mid-60s, he formed this blues rock band, and for more than 50 years he has not stopped releasing records.
Chicken Shack made its debut in 1967 alongside Peter Green's Fleetwood Macs in Windsor, during the National Jazz and Blues Festival of Great Britain. The group was the Blue Horizon label's second-best hire, the first being Fleetwood Macs themselves. Chicken Shack's first two albums, “40 Blue Fingers Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve” and “O.K. Ken”, were quite successful, this in part because the presence of a woman as keyboardist and vocalist was significant, and unusual in a scene that was dominated by men.
"That's the way we are" (1978) was the band's tenth album and it collects a selection of their own songs and some versions, in which guitars with feeling, powerful blues rock and even boggie rock predominate.
From the initial and powerful "The End" and "It Wasn't me" comes out a band sounding very compact and forceful, which however also has calm moments like in that beauty called "Emily".
Chicken Shack are one of those bands that never appear on any rock list, but whose legacy deserves to be put in the place they deserve as one of the greats of British blues.
