Drummer reacts to "In The Country" by Chicago

[@akadros310]

Thanks L33 for doing my pick so quickly. I am so glad to see someone to react to this song. It has always been one of my favorites but no one ever reacts to it because it isn't one of their hits. Really glad that you liked it and the surprise at the end...top notch!

[@dhfenske]

Thank you so much, @akadros310, for requesting this! Ditto your comment here.

These early Chicago albums cannot be beat. They were firing on all cylinders. Great choice Dan M. Soulful vocals by Mr. Kath as always. 🔥🔥

[@mstewart109]

Terry Kath was one special musician/singer.and what about that brass? Album 1 in my opinion WAS the best

[@realbser1956]

@@mstewart109 #1, I concur 😀

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Silver Chicago. Great album

[@chitownlee]

Terry's guitar playing is always amazing but he is such a great singer.

[@MaureenSiska-bv5oq]

Thanks Dan from a fellow Chicago fan! Terry was born with music in his soul. He’s such a force.

[@akadros310]

You are welcome. Early Chicago is some of the best rock music of all time

[@lorrainebowen6530]

Live from Tanglewood!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ImaDogTrainer]

Always loved this song

[@mikerichards67]

There were so many great bands back in the day and I was fortunate to see a great many of them, but in my opinion there was no tighter band than Chicago. No bands back then sounded much like they did on the album,but they did. It was just incredible to see and hear them live.

[@shiannesmith6877]

Every song you've done by them has been great. Terry is amazing! Thanks for the surprise ❤

[@victoriataylor6741]

My absolute favorite album by Chicago!

[@kirkkimball-martinez2402]

Mr. Terry Kath! The foundation for Chicago.

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

My boys ....loved it, of course. This was part of the suite we did earlier. Such a fantastic album. Welcome and thanks for the pick, Dan. What a shock, Lee, who'd a thunk it! Blessings all.

[@TerryKrysinski]

You can't lose with anything from those first III albums along with Chicago V as well. All great stuff,Lee...keep 'em coming,bro! Cheers, T

[@robotronrichard]

Thanks Dan for bringing us this great song from one of the more influential bands in my life. And thanks L33 for the added surprise. It was a good one even though I was hoping for Mr Moo Moo again! (haha) ☮❤🎶

[@dawntucker5052]

And thank you Dan! Great pick from a great album❤

[@akadros310]

You are welcome

[@dawntucker5052]

Wow that surprise was worth it ❤ thank you for all you do, Lee ❤

[@kweile4339]

Thanks y'all!

[@corawheeler9355]

Such a solid band ... always making good music. Nicely done Lee : )

[@glenndespres5317]

So, Lee. Do you feel like you grew up in the late 60’s and early 70’s yet? I think you are there, Grasshopper. You ‘get’ most all of the great bands we grew up with. You ‘hear’ Jimi. And you are clearly digging Chicago. Welcome, my son… to the ‘greatest musical generation.’. Nice touch with the live surprise!

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

I do love you🥁🎸🎺

[@davidwolf4677]

Back in the day, I was a fan of the first Chicago singles. I started buying their albums with #5. Now I’m revisiting their first three (double) albums and I am blown away at the inventiveness and genius of that early era.

[@marthagavey9321]

❤ haven't this for so long and Terry killin it, harmonies like butter with Peter!!! Am quite sure Ray Charles must have been Terry's cousin!! ❤😂❤ Great surprise, and absolutely adore their offkey stuff with the brass!!!🎉banger!!

[@jamesgabbert9375]

Such a great album.

[@Humb7757]

Love this song I always knew, but from ‘live At Carnegie hall’ So much a lively recording… troughout! All four Lps… (Thanks for the fantastic Tanglewood video❤) At Carnegie Hall …it offers to the audience the best version of every song …I assure you! In absolute breathtaking detail!

[@gj8683]

Agree. They'd been playing those songs for awhile and really gelled. Terry's lead solos were better, too.

[@stpnwlf9]

Outstanding Terry Kath tune. Great use of mixed vocals, brass, rhythm section -- there is nothing at all negative to say about this one, in my opinion.

[@RG-zosobo]

Check out the Carnegie Hall version as well.

[@greggebhart3305]

Great song

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

Terry had a great voice.

[@mimig3904]

These were the years when Chicago was great. You should do Saturday in the Park.

[@michaelbastraw1493]

Pedantically - it's Lee LOFF-nane, and Peter's last name is emphasized on the second syllable. Best. Mike.

[@damonhines8187]

Great pick, DannyM! Nice double play, L33!! ✌🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@jimwilson5148]

The guitar lick at the end is one of my all time favorites

[@marthagavey9321]

❤who could say they didn't absolutely LOVE that gritty growl of Terry's!! ❤🎉❤

[@brianbrown2266]

So soulful caught me off gaurd sounded like Ronnie Vsn Zant begging when he started singing 😊

[@gj8683]

12:32 This part is genius. Just three-part vocal harmony on a sustained chord.

[@SpiderMcGee]

One edition of New Years' Rockin' Eve, I think it was 1975, featured Chicago. Terry cut his hair and cleaned up real nice and everyone was wearing tuxedos. They were backed up by members of The Beach Boys on the song "Wishin' You Were Here" and it was a great show. I haven't looked for it lately, but it was on KZbin the last time I checked. Terry sang a solo song called "Tell Me" that was featured in the movie Electra Glide in Blue. It's a '70s cop movie that I haven't seen, but Chicago members play minor roles. According to Wikipedia, Lee Loughnane plays a pig farmer in a commune. Walter Parazaider is a member of that commune who gets roughed up by a law enforcement officer. Peter Cetera plays a murder suspect who undergoes a grueling interrogation. Terry Kath plays a role that is small, but critical to the movie. I might have to go watch it now.

[@akadros310]

It is still there. I saw it here within the last couple of weeks

[@nealeger8154]

To hear another side to Chicago, you should listen to "Devil's Suite" from Chicago VII. It's their most prog/jazz song.

[@ukesrule58]

At. 6:10 or so, THAT waa none other than The Great Peter C. Woulda been your fourth choice I guessa Lee
