If you are of the belief that the illusive "Chicago Sound" should consist of bulked-up blues and barroom brawls than Chicago Stone Lightning Band is the band for you. The band is a shinning example of how to take the genre of blue’s and traditional rock to next level and have a great time while doing it. The band just released their self-titled debut album today for free digitally, and the album is filled with fresh takes blues and soul and rock. My favorite track so far is "Oh No", it’s a little ZZ Top and little John Lee Hooker, but still holds it own as a Chicago Stone Lightning Band track.
The band will be performing at The Hideout on May 12th.
