Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning
Free Music Review: A Great Collection By A Great Group
Hit: 4 Stars
Chicago was certainly one of my favorite bands as a youth. They had a very unique sound. The horns that were featured so prominently in their earier albums added a lot. They made Chicago different from just about any other group out there.
They recorded a lot of albums and had a great number of top hits over several decades.
This is a very good collection. Although several of the songs it contains are shorter (radio versions), they are still great. The first disc is really superb. It contains lots of great tracks. The second disc not so much. There are a few very good songs on it, but many of them could have been left off and nothing would have been lost.
This is an excellent collection for most fans. It is also very good for introducing new fans to a great sound.
The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning Poster
From the perspective of 15 subsequent platinum albums and 20 top-10 hits, it's hard to imagine that Chicago began their career as a bona fide prog-fusion act, an early FM radio favorite whose jazz-tinged, album-length suites found them a hip cult following even as they confounded label execs. Ironically, when the pioneering horn band (a contemporary of Blood, Sweat & Tears and inspiration for one-hit wonders like Lighthouse, Ides of March, and Ten Wheel Drive) relented and allowed their music to be edited down to single length, their success was explosive. Most of the "single edits" on disc 1 of this 39-track anthology provide ample evidence of that de facto formula: a catchy riff ("25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "Color My World") develops into a hook-filled, pop-savvy production rife with the band's trademark horn perfection. One could argue that that sensibility--and a midcareer tilt toward producer David Foster, songwriter Diane Warren, and the MOR ballads that became some of their biggest successes--degenerated into formula. Indeed, there's much on the second disc to support that notion. This set spans it all, showcasing newly refocused edits of some their biggest early hits and lesser-known tracks like their lively '95 cross-cultural collaboration with the Gipsy Kings on a cover of Louis Prima's swing classic "Sing, Sing, Sing." --Jerry McCulleySubtitled - Only The Beginning. Double disc with 39 hit singles spanning Chicago's complete 35-year history. Including the #1 singles 'If You Leave Me Now,' 'Hard To Say I'm Sorry' and 'Look Away'. Booklet features detailed liner notes by Bill DeYoung. Rhino Records. Slipcase. 2002.
