Comments for Chicago, Chicago 13

The best part of this LP is MAYNARD FERGUSON'S trumpet solo on "Street Player." It saves the whole album !! (In return, drummer Danny Seraphine did a guest appearance on Maynard's "Hot" album on the cut "Rocky II.")

Can you believe a rave record was made in 1995, sampling "Street Player" (Bucketheads - The Bomb)?! This is just one example of the group''s influence on the world of music! The rest of the album is slightly disappointing though; only "Mama take", "Run away" and "Reruns" really catch the eye (aswell as "Street Player", of course). Dacus never really fit in to the Chicago sound - "Must have been crazy" is a great rock tune, but somehow doesn''t fit into a Chicago LP, in my opinion.

This album is not a good example of the typical Chicago sound ... new or old. Ithas its moments, but for the most part I think they are far and few between.
