Publisher's Synopsis
Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf all had one thing in common, they recorded for Chess Records, the legendary blues label founded by Polish immigrants Leonard and Phil Chess. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the record company that changed music history, this biography of these immigrant brothers charts their successes and failures as they struggled to popularise the recordings that form the canon of blues music and the roots of rock 'n' roll. Illustrated with 16 pages of b&w photos.
