In retrospect, it’s not hard to see why this copycat-sounding self-titled debut is their only LP. ‘Gerard’ is perhaps the best Chicago album of the era.

Ken Sharp’s last studio album ‘Miniatures’ was cut from an orchestral-pop cloth, but the new single “Hellcat” returns to his power-pop roots.

Bob Dylan is back on the road. Nobody seemed happier about it during his tour-opening stop in Milwaukee than Bob himself.

Released 15 years ago this week, J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton’s ‘The Road to Escondido’ was the kind of record I would not have “gotten” in my teens.

Zeelley Moon is piano-driven, clever song-orientated music, with glances at bands like Supertramp, 10cc, Klaatu (circa the album ‘Hope’) and Garden Shed.
