I'm not surprised to hear Taylor and Dixon described as fond of Styx; they traveled in some of the same Chicago circles. Koko Taylor's daughter went to the same high school as James Young. Here are clips of Koko performing with Styx: http://www.thedeependwithnickmichaels.com/videos.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LEyLUzLgtw Styx also deserves credit for doing some good work on behalf of Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven Foundation, which others can support at this site: http://bluesheaven.com/ Thanks for your opinion, Liz.

Give you small kudos for recognizing the genius of Ms.Taylor and Mr. Dixon. Who loved Styx btw! Styx isn’t lame, but you are an idiot.

It sounded more polished than this version, but I loved it anyway. Great to hear this earlier version - it's grittier, toothier. She will be missed.
