Chikan blues

James ‘Super Chikan’ Johnson got his name for his predilection for talking to the chickens on the family farm. Now Chikan lets the guitars do the clucking.

‘I AM one the last of the originals... my songs are about what I know, what I have experienced and about the Delta style of life, and about the hardships and the hard times,’ says blues guitarist James Johnson.
