Born to play the blues: James "Super Chikan" Johnson, Clarksdale, Mississippi
Article Abstract:
James 'Super Chikan' Johnson, a Mississippi Delta native, a unique talent rising out of cotton field-and-juke joint obscurity, keeps his personal branch of blues alive through his signature humor-chicken sounds, lyrics about amorous roosters. Chikan's career grew slowly from making up songs behind the wheel to playing guitar and harmonica at house parties and after five tough life decades and four hard-to-find CDs on small labels, he has finally earned a modest status in music.
