"On an individual album basis, that clean, glossy sheen can be too glaring but when it's distilled into this history, it's appealing because it's seen in the context of an artist who's constantly on the move, constantly finding ways to adapt to what's hot without ever losing sight of who he is. That's a story that can only be told on a box set and that's why Chicken Heads is so valuable: it shows all the ways Bobby Rush kept the blues alive".

"An amazingly curated and lovingly rendered collection that examines the wildly entertaining music of Bobby Rush".

"About the only thing you don't get here is the full effect of the bottom-heavy dancers Bobby exhibits during his live show. Bobby Rush is a national treasure for every man, and this collection captures him at his best. The music remains as timeless as he is and definitely worth the price of admission".
