All these songs have already appeared on the blog on another compilation, Only The Beginning: The Very Best Of Chicago, even though this CD was purchased before that one. (Note: don't confuse the two previously mentioned albums with the other 10+ compilations from this group.) But since the goal of the blog is to listen to all the CDs on the shelves, this one is getting a Saturday morning spin.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: This CD (and the track What Kind Of Man Would I Be in particular) reminds me of numerous trips to Sutherlands during ill-fated DIY home improvement projects.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a missed marketing opportunity. Maybe HGTV or DIY networks will pick up on it.
