Chicago's re-answer to the Blues, doing what the Stones, Yardbirds and the Who did and Amaricafied it back, the result being early Punk Rock. Covering mostly classic Chicago Blues tunes and using Them's
Gloria as the title track. The real money is on the original tracks,
Light Bulb Blues,
It Always Happens That Way and
Darkside, the first two are fuzzed out Punk numbers with switchblade riffs, the other a bleak moody ballad. The Uk may have re-invented the blues, but the Americans regurgitated it an invented Punk! Funny footnote, they're on the Dunwich label, product number 666, ouuuuu, spooky!
