THE CHATHAM SINGERS' second album - following their critically acclaimed debut "Heavens Journey" which came out in late 2005 and was a mixture of Blues and Poetry, - "Ju Ju Claudius" is a straight blues and little bit of country album.

It has has a earthy, homespun charm, something to be taken down from the shelf for comfort on those long lonely nights of the soul.

It features the two tracks released as a limited 7" plus 12 others including some classic covers of songs by Slim Harpo, Jimmy Reed and Hank Williams.

The core band of Billy Childish on Vox / Guitar Nurse Julie on Vox / Bass Wolf Howard on Drums & 'Bludy' Jim on Harp are joined on this album by Graham Coxon (BLUR) on Guitar and James Taylor (PRISONERS / JAMES TAYLOR QUARTET) on Keyboard.

The band will be playing select shows and festivals over the summer. http://www.myspace.com/thechathamsingers
