		Bios - New York State Blues Festival - Syracuse, NY The creator of a singular sound, which he dubbed "folk-funk," multi-instrumentalist Bobby Rush was among the most colorful characters on the contemporary chitlin circuit, honing a unique style that brought together a cracked lyrical bent with elements of blues, soul, and funk.
		As Rush began to develop his own sound, he opted to forgo the Blues market in favor of the chitlin circuit, which offered a more receptive audience for his increasingly bawdy material; he notched his first hit in 1971 with his Galaxy label single "Chicken Heads," and later scored with "Bow-Legged Woman" for Jewel.
		He appeared on a wide variety of labels as the decade progressed, culminating in the 1979 LP Rush Hour, produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff for their Philadelphia International imprint.

		Essentially a mixtape project comprised of rare and unreleased cuts, as well as a few new joints, The Chitlin’ Circuit 1.5 (Fastlife) is a stunning release.
		Whether this is dubbed a mixtape, a ‘lost tapes’ style collection, or just an underground album, it remains that The Chitlin’ Circuit 1.5 is an immensely satisfying fix for Hip-Hop junkies.
		The remixes could have been replaced with a few more fresh songs, and even the longest cuts on this mix sound too short, but both of these criticisms are simply a testament to the CD’s quality.

		It used to be marked by your first appearance on "Hollywood Squares," but when it comes to Black celebrity death the real standard is headlining in a chitlin' circuit play - you know any stage show with "Mama" in its title or co-stars Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley.
		But chitlin' theater isn't nearly as shameful as gangsta rap which, for all its vaunted "realness," celebrates murder, abusiveness and Black-on-Black crime.
		Oh, and I have seen quite a few of the so called "chitlin" plays and some are good while others are alright.

		His chord inversions on this track are typical of the album’s menu and tight rhythm trio add those measured statements with Tim Hauf’s bass walking a journey of its own to the elegant brush strokes of Gaylord Birch, truly a memorable track.
