“There is no way I could finish up here without jamming "Insane Asylum" by Koko Taylor & Willie Dixon, an intense #blues that makes the hiars on the back of my neck stand up, a great song yes but that voice.... Koko Taylor was known as the "Queen of the Blues." and primarily for her rough, powerful vocals and traditional blues stylings. Willie Dixon was a prolific writer and was also a gifted upright bass player although he also played guitar and sang, next to Muddy Waters he was the most influential person in shaping the post-World War II sound of the Chicago blues. I really love this song and hope you will too.”
