The Chess Story is a lavishly produced, limited edition (only 1,000 made) 15 CD box set that ranks easily among the most desirable collections ever manufactured. The Chicago label, established in the late 1940s by Polish immigrant brothers Phil and Leonard Chess, brought the blues to many people for the first time. This show covers the years 1965 to 1968. We are hearing less of the founding fathers like Muddy, Chuck and Wolf, as they are being replaced by the likes of Etta James, Little Milton, Koko Taylor and Billy Stewart.
