5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerGuitarist Terry Kath wrote a rip roaring opening track that is much more down to earth than his contributions to the last 2 albums. The awesome sax solo is sadly the last time Walt Parazaider would have a prominent solo on a Chicago album.
GUITAR: ghostbyob
5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerThis raunchy tune from Jimmy Pankow features some smoking horn parts, guitar solo, and shuffle rhythm throughout. The lyrics are a little obviously about procreation

5 LANE KEYS: Bansheeflyer
A lyrical retelling of their career up to this point Scrapbook is pure funk.
GUITAR: bsbloom
5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerAnother Rainy Day in New York City is a song written by Robert Lamm and was the first single released reaching #32 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
GUITAR: ghostbyob
5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerYou Are On My Mind was the third single for the album, reaching #49 in April 1977.
GUITAR: bsbloom
This track was recorded during the album sessions but left off and resurrected as a bonus track in the early 2000’s. It’s the most unusual ballad I’ve heard written by guitarist Terry Kath featuring many moods, twists and turns and continuously ramping up to a furious climax. No keys were charted as they are very low in the mix.

5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerTrumpet player Lee Loughnane wrote and contributed a lead vocal for this song.

Great release, love seeing all these mastodon songs come together with everyone’s contributions. Working on them is a joy too. Can’t wait for the rest.
UPDATE 6/24 – Frank Zappa “The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque”
Here is the first of many Zappa tracks to be released in the coming months. Most will be drums only but some will get full band treatment. Enjoy!
This track features the final line up of the Mothers of Invention with Art Tripp on drums.
UPDATE 7/1 – Frank Zappa “The Dog Breath Variations/Uncle Meat medley live”
Here is the first of many Zappa tracks to be released in the coming months. Most will be drums only but some will get full band treatment. Enjoy!
This track features the classic mid 70’s line up with Chester Thompson on drums. The song is a rock rendition of early Zappa classical pieces from the Uncle Meat album.
UPDATE 7/3 – Chicago XI pack released!
Here is my release for Chicago XI released in 1977. This album was the end of an era. Terry Kath dies the next year, long time producer Jimmy Guercio is fired and everything slowly goes down hill until David Foster returns them to Pop megastardom again but they still released some great music in the meantime. Credits listed below. Also thanks to my friend Masayuki Funatsu for creating a great image for this pack and mb1nightmare for playtesting.

5 LANE KEYS: Bansheeflyer“Baby, What a Big Surprise” is a power ballad written by Peter Cetera. The first single released from that album, it reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys provided additional backing vocals on the recording while saxophonist Walt Parazaider plays flute on the distinctive flute introduction and trumpeter Lee Loughnane plays a piccolo trumpet.

5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerSadly this was Terry Kath’s final contribution to a Chicago record before his untimely death a year later. Thankfully it’s a gritty blistering track that sizzles with lead licks and solos throughout.
GUITAR: bsbloom
5 LANE KEYS: Bansheeflyer
This ballad written by drummer Danny Seraphine features lush strings and jazz solos throughout as well as a beautiful lead vocal by Terry Kath.

5 LANE KEYS: BansheeflyerAnother track written by Danny Seraphine with lead vocals by Robert Lamm with some interesting guitar licks throughout by Terry Kath.
AJFOne and all collaborators, thanks for your time and effort to share so much Chicago. This band has GREAT musicianship and in my opinion, is a serious challenge to play in RB3.
For this release and all previous releases (in itself a mind boggling accomplishment) a very big Thank You for sharing.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words. The encouragement helps me and everyone involved feel the hard work is all worth it. Not only are you enjoying some great songs you already knew buy you’re learning about some hidden gems. 70 songs down. 31 to go!
