...As if I needed another reason to hate Government, but anyway...The band originally went by the name "Chicago Transit Authority" but was sued by the real CTA in Chicago, IL over the use of the name so changed it to "Chicago.
Chicago Transit Authority:
"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?":
Love this style of music and love this song. Nuff said.
"Beginnings":
Wasn't sure I was going to care for this one until the horns kicked in. Still not as good as others I've heard but solid nonetheless.
"South California Purples":
Now that's some strong instrumentation. Powerful horns, organ and guitar! This would have been an amazing song as an instrumental but the vocals add even more value. Great song!
"I'm A Man":
I don't generally care for this fast of a tempo, especially with this style of music. In this case the excellent instrumentation keeps my attention and then there's the drum solo to end all drum solos. By now everyone knows I "likes me some drums."
Damn you @BobO'Link - Now I have to purchase another album!
