The origins of the Chicago sound, opened up by brass.
A single by Chicago, "Bloody Day" is a rock number with a social theme, featuring impressive heavy brass and powerful rhythms.
"Bloody Day" is one of Chicago's signature songs, symbolizing brass rock. The horn section drives the entire song, with a strong sense of unity between the rhythm guitar and drums. The lyrics, which contain a social message, create a rock-like tension that resonates with the dynamism of the performance. The powerful vocals and the interplay with the brass instruments create a heavy sound that is characteristic of Chicago. The recording has good separation, creating a sense of realism like a live performance. Side B features a more lyrical development, demonstrating the band's musical breadth. This is an important album that encapsulates the innovation of early Chicago.
