Guitarist Mel Brown's 1967 solo debut is a perfect soul-jazz workout. Although Gerald Wiggins contributes saucy work on organ, and bassist Ronald Brown and drummer Paul Humphrey provide endless easy-flow beats, Chicken Fat is guitar paradise -- twisting, twirling beneficence from not just Brown but Arthur Wright and veteran Herb Ellis, as well. Add Brown's deep-South blues shouts and his head-down testifying among the choppy, primeval funk rhythms of "Greasy Spoon" and the countrified shuffle of "Sad But True," and you have something truly gooey and succulent - one of the best hunks of barbecue you ever ate in your life.
