Our Take

Ah, CHICAGO's debut album "Chicago Transit Authority" takes us on a musical journey through the bustling streets of the windy city. With its jazzy horns, funky basslines, and soulful vocals, this record is a true gem of the late 60s music scene.

From the opening track, "Introduction," we are immediately transported to a smoky jazz club filled with groovy vibes and infectious energy. The band's tight musicianship and dynamic arrangements make each song feel like a mini adventure, taking us on a wild ride through a variety of genres, from rock to blues to Latin rhythms.

Standout tracks like "Beginnings" and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" showcase the band's versatility and songwriting prowess, while longer tracks like "Liberation" allow for some epic jams and improvisation that will have you grooving for days.

Overall, "Chicago Transit Authority" is a bold and ambitious debut that showcases the band's unique blend of rock, jazz, and soul. It's a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their musical horizons and get down and funky with some of the best tunes of the era. Hop on board the CHICAGO train and let the music take you on a wild ride through the streets of the windy city. All aboard!
