Description: | Back To Chicago by Rockwell Avenue Blues Band, released 22 March 2018.
This version of Back To Chicago comes as a 1xCD. - Despite the successes Tad Robinson, Steve Freund, Ken Saydak, Harlan Terson and Marty Binder have achieved over long parallel careers, there was some unfinished business to attend to. Longtime bonds, which sometimes elude conscious recognition, drew them to Delmark's Riverside Studio on Chicago's North Rockwell Avenue in October of 2017. It was a joyous musical and artistic reunion. They had all recorded for Delmark over the past decades. Now it was time to join together again, as equals who had shared a lifestyle and craft, each in his own way, each with his own voice. So they took a week away from their routines to share a brief moment, frozen in time on Back To Chicago."Back To Chicago (CD)" by the Rockwell Avenue Blues Band is a powerful homage to the rich blues tradition of Chicago, featuring an all-star lineup of seasoned musicians. This album captures the authentic spirit and energy that made Chicago a global center for blues music. With soulful vocals, masterful guitar work, and tight rhythm sections, each track takes listeners on a journey through classic and contemporary blues sounds. The CD showcases both original compositions and fresh interpretations of timeless standards, making it essential listening for any true blues enthusiast.
