Thunder Chicken was an ole-time brand of extra strong wine that played a role in bandleader Malcolm "Papa Mali" Welbourne's formative years in north Louisiana - - fortified by a gris-gris bag of tribal rhythms, true New Orleans-style funk & peppered with judicious touches of slide guitar, Papa Mali delivers his vocals with a soulful swagger, almost as if Jimi Hendrix had been raised in the swamp on a steady diet of James Brown, the Meters & scratchy Delta Blues - the group's epic voodoo funk is nastier than a lard bucket full of armpits!
