Number One Chicken


#1 Chicken is the third full-length album by the Red Aunts. It was released in 1995 on Epitaph.

Production

#1 Chicken was produced by Brett Gurewitz. The band claims that Snoop Doggy Dogg cowrote the album's seventh track, "Rollerderby Queen." The album contains 14 songs on a 23-minute album.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the album "leaves no doubt that these Aunts can bite with a vengeance, but they’d be even more potent with a little less squawking." SF Weekly wrote: "In an era when punk is traded like a commodity and female artists like P J Harvey vamp for MTV's Vaseline-smeared cameras, Red Aunts march in, raid your fridge, vaporize your damage deposit, and leave you for dead in a heap on the floor, eardrums hissing and a smile on your face." The Spokesman-Review called the album Epitaph's "most snotty, brash, blistering and raw effort in some time."
