We continue with our look at the greatest blues label ever, drawing from the 15 CD box set The Chess Story. Looking at the years 1958 and 1959, some of the artists featured include old guard like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, the newer rockin' guys like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, and total obscurities like LC Cooke & the Sonics. Plus, few new releases to finish off the show.
