Chicken Shack is a British band that originated from Sounds Of Blue in Stourbridge, UK. Formed in the early 1960s, the original members included Christine Perfect on vocals and piano, Andy Sylvester on bass guitar, Stan Webb on guitar, and Chris Wood on saxophone. After going through several drummers, Dave Bidwell joined as their permanent drummer in 1966/67.
During a tour with Fleetwood Mac in 1967, Christine Perfect met John McVie and later married him. She eventually left Chicken Shack to replace Peter Green in Fleetwood Mac. Her departure led to her replacement by Paul Raymond.
In 1970, tensions within the group resulted in a falling-out between Stan Webb and Mike Vernon, leading to their record label dropping them. Additionally, disagreements within the band caused Dave Bidwell and Paul Raymond to leave and join Savoy Brown. Undeterred by these setbacks, Stan Webb continued with new members including bass guitarist John Glassock from Jethro Tull and Paul Hancox on drums. However, after various lineup changes throughout the mid-1970s, Chicken Shack ultimately disbanded.

Featuring Christine Perfect (better known as the future Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac), the British ensemble Chicken Shack offers up a solid set of blues-influenced rock on their 1968 album, fully titled 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve. This album was a promising debut, especially noteworthy for Stan Webb's Freddie King-inspired guitar playing and Christine Perfect's vocals. It remains their finest work.
