Shoot That Thang is an album by James ‘Super Chikan’ Johnson, a blues musician known for his unique style and energetic performances. The album was released in 1997 and showcases Super Chikan’s Mississippi Delta blues influences with a modern twist.
Super Chikan, born James Louis Johnson, was one of the more acclaimed emerging blues performers of the late ’90s. His small-combo, good-humored blues has a funky touch.
Super Chikan is known for playing a homemade guitar shaped like a chicken, and his music often incorporates humorous lyrics, storytelling, and a lively stage presence.
As an instrumentalist, he’s distinguished not so much by his style as his equipment: his ‘Chicantars’ are constructed with flattened gas can bodies. Super Chikan worked as a cab driver, truck driver, and tractor driver until becoming a full-time musician in his forties, basing himself in Clarksdale, MS
Shoot That Thang received positive reviews from blues enthusiasts and showcases Super Chikan’s ability to infuse traditional blues with his own personality and flair.
