Our Take

Album review: Various Artists - Living Chicago Blues When it comes to the blues, Chicago is like the deep dish pizza of musical cities - rich, saucy, and oozing with flavour. The "Living Chicago Blues" compilation album serves up a heaping serving of that musical goodness, showcasing some of the city's finest talents in the genre. From the gritty vocals of Magic Slim to the electrifying guitar licks of Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, this album is a veritable smorgasbord of blues excellence. Each track is like a shot of whiskey - smooth going down, but with a fiery kick that leaves you wanting more. The album kicks off with a bang, as Billy Branch's harmonica wails on "Hate to See You Go". It's the kind of song that makes you want to grab a pint and sway along, letting the music wash over you like a warm Chicago breeze. But it's not just the big names that shine on this album - lesser-known artists like Johnny B. Moore and the Kinsey Report hold their own, proving that the Chicago blues scene is a deep well of talent just waiting to be tapped. So grab your fedora, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let "Living Chicago Blues" transport you to the smoky clubs and dimly lit streets of the Windy City. It's a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, you'll be singing the blues (in a good way) for days to come.
