Super Chikan & the Fighting Cocks

James "Super Chikan" Johnson, nominated this year for four Blues Music Awards (Entertainer of the Year, Song of the Year, Traditional Blues Album and Traditional Blues Artist), struts and spins across the stage, riffing funkily on the whacky guitars he builds from recycled lawnmower and auto parts. He's backed by one of the ballsiest bands in the Mississippi Delta, the Fighting Cocks—three barefoot gals who stomp the groove, and help bring Chikan's crowd to their feet.
