Chicago III

Chicago

A sprawling double album of road-weary jazz-rock and pastoral suites. Gritty, experimental, and deeply human, it captures a band pushing past exhaustion.

Find on Amazon

The sound of a legendary band getting weird and weary on the road before they became a hit machine.

A weary but creatively ambitious exploration of life on the road and the search for peace.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, gritty guitar solo that rips through the nine-minute opener Sing a Mean Tune Kid.
The transition from the frantic energy of Free into the sprawling, experimental textures of Free Country.
The way the brass section mimics the chaotic sounds of a city during the Progress? suite.
