- Short biography
- L’une des très rares chanteuses actuelles de blues pur (encore que son répertoire ne soit pas limité ni stéréotypé, bien au contraire), Koko Taylor mérite indiscutablement de figurer au panthéon des grandes Dames du blues, du blues rude, à ras de terre, celui qui conte la violence quotidienne, celui de Memphis Minnie, de Big Maybelle, de Big Mama Thornton. Dotée d’une voix forte, expressive, elle ne craint pas d’appuyer ses effets par de saisissants coups de gosier. (Guide Akaï du disque 1983 : Disques Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, p. 300)
