"...Chicken Strut scratches out a sparer sound, one rooted in the Southern instrumental soul of Booker T. & the MGs and the Meters." - The Austin Chronicle
Take four journeymen Austin musicians, add a pound of soul-jazz, two cups of New Orleans funk, a heaping helping of blues and a pinch of barnyard country pickin', simmer over a low flame and you get Chicken Strut, the funkiest small combo around!
