His often off-key honking was never likely to bring sleepless nights to the likes of his Central Avenue contemporaries such as Plas Johnson, or Joe Houston. But it was popular enough among L.As R&B-loving youngsters to give our man a career that spanned several decades, and even more record labels. CHUCK BLOWS HIS WIG focuses exclusively on the sides that he and his band, the Mellotones, cut for just one of those labels  Jake Porters Combo Records“ during the 1950s. 01 IRON PIPE 02 BLUES 'N' MAMBO 03 LONG, LONG TIME 04 BOYLE HEIGHTS 05 BLUE SAX 06 PAPA CHARLIE 07 THE DUCK WALK 08 TORTAS 09 STORMY 10 HIGGINS BOUNCE 11 HIGGINS BLUES 12 COTTON PICKER 13 MOTOR HEAD BABY 14 THE ROOSTER 15 WEST SIDE 16 AIN'T GONNA LEAVE, BABY 17 I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU 18 HIGGINS BOUNCE 19 HIGGINS BLUES 20 LOVE ME, BABY 21 JUST WON'T TREAT ME RIGHT 22 CHUCK'S WIG 23 REAL GONE HOUND DOG 24 BIG FAT MAMA
