“Thunder and Lightning” is one of the few examples on ‘XIV’ where it feels as though Chicago was actually playing together as one group.

“Upon Arrival” is an upbeat Chicago song with a nice arrangement. It’s a shame Peter Cetera and Robert Lamm didn’t work together more often.

It’s strangely fitting that the Grammy nomination for ‘Chicago XIV’ recogonized John Berg’s artwork, and not the music.

Sadly, “Reruns” is another reminder of where Chicago was heading in their not-too-distant future.

There’s a reason why the song Chicago wrote for Sylvester Stallone’s 1978 film ‘Paradise Alley’ was left on the cutting-room floor.

The final song on Chicago’s 1978 release ‘Hot Streets’ is the perfect uneven ending to an uneven album.

There are two available versions of Chicago’s “Love Was New,” one featuring Robert Lamm singing and another with Donnie Dacus. Which one was better?

The title track to Chicago’s ‘Hot Streets’ is a wistful look back at the jazz-rock style of the original band in its early days.

The second bonus track on the Rhino remaster of 1977’s ‘Chicago XI’ is an enjoyable, if not remarkable, listen.

‘Vote For Me’ reveals Chicago legend Robert Lamm’s sense of humor, while skewering our political process and the hypocrisy of elected officials.
