"Chicken Shack Boogie" is a 1948 jump-boogie song by the West Coast blues artist Amos Milburn.
[1] It was the first of four number-one hits on the R&B chart by Milburn.
[2] In 1956, Milburn released "Chicken Shack", a faster rock-and-roll version (subsequently included on his 1957 album Let's Have a Party).
This version runs about 2:30 and is sometimes titled "Chicken Shack Boogie" on later compilation albums.
Earl Palmer was the drummer on this version.
