Our Take

Ah, the Big Town Playboys, a band so cool even their name oozes swagger. With their latest album, "Chicago Bluesin'," these cats take us on a wild ride through the gritty streets of the Windy City.

The album kicks off with a bang, as the Playboys deliver a blistering rendition of classic Chicago blues tunes. From the wailing harmonica solos to the soulful vocals, this record is a masterclass in old-school cool.

But what really sets the Big Town Playboys apart is their unique British twist on the Chicago blues sound. With their quirky accents and irreverent sense of humour, these lads bring a fresh, fun energy to the genre.

Tracks like "My Baby Left Me" and "Key to the Highway" showcase the band's impressive musicianship, while their lively stage banter keeps things light and entertaining. You can almost hear the pints clinking in the background as the Playboys tear through their set.

Overall, "Chicago Bluesin'" is a rollicking good time from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard blues fan or just looking for some good ol' fashioned fun, this album is sure to put a smile on your face. So grab a pint, kick back, and let the Big Town Playboys take you on a wild ride through the streets of Chicago. Cheers!
