Lethargic
blues, sounding like an opening act recorded at the blues bar down the
street. This record literally screams for a competent singer, as Stan
Webb's lazy, mumbling vocals are almost laughable (did he intend it that
way?). Sorry, but this chicken laid a 20-ton rotten egg.

100
Ton Chicken is the third album by the UK Brit Blues band Chicken Shack.
Originally released in 1969, the follow-up album of their first two
albums 40 Blue Fingers Freshly Packed And Ready To Serve [MOVLP104] and
OK Ken? [MOVLP1039] was Paul Raymond's first album as a member of
Chicken Shack. Raymond replaced Christine Perfect, who left the band
when she married John McVie of Fleetwood Mac.
Terence Ibbott was in
charge of the album artwork for 100 Ton Chicken, which was bizarre as
always. The recordings sounded quite different and gave The Shack what
they were looking for - a "heavier" sound. On the album Chicken Shack
covered Clarence Carter tunes ("The Road Of Love" and "Weekend Love"), a
great Freddie King tune "Look Ma, I'm Cryin'", Lowell Fulson's
"Reconsider Baby" and Clarence Gatemouth Brown's "Midnight Hour".
