WAIM Radio has a full hour dedicated to the musical majesty of that toddling town at the bottom of Lake Michigan. What's your favorite track by a Chicago artist?
"Stranded in the Moonlight " by Michael Smith & Anne Hills: https://michaelpetersmith.com/lyrics/stranded-moonlight.shtml
"In the City of Chicago " by Christy Moore (a lovely tribute to the immigrant experience) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8VWb1ybowE
This issue really lovely. Reminds me of 'Thousands Are Sailing' by The Pogues.
Wilco - Via Chicago
Material Issue -Valerie Loves Me
The Baseball Project - Disco Demolition
Love that you tossed in Disco Demolition. Love the Baseball Project.
Waco Brothers... “Do You Think About Me?”
Little Walter... “Juke”
Yardbirds... “I’m A Man” laid down the backtrack at Chess studio
Nice call on the Waco Bros!
There's no way to narrow it down to one song! Here are three from different eras but I could easily give you fifty.
Muddy Waters, Mannish Boy
Curtis Mayfield, Superfly
Smashing Pumpkins, I Am One
Oooh, I forgot about Curtis. Nice pick.
Sister Havana- Urge Overkill
The Fixer - Pearl Jam (maybe a stretch, but Eddie Vedder was from Evanston)
Sister Havana rips so damned hard.
Anything CHICAGO, my favorite band ever! 🎶 🎵
Sweet Home Chicago -- Robert Johnson (and, The Blues Brothers cover :)
The Blues Brothers version is a Chicago "band" playing a Chicago song. Double points, right Jolene?
Ding, ding, ding 🛎️ double points, Matty! 😂
And B.B. King’s cover!
