A masterful set of music by veteran and talented musicians.
author: Wolfgang Spider, Detroit Blues News
The 14 songs on "Somewhere Between Detroit & Chicago" range from incendiary blues such as "Livin’ The Dream" to a traditional tune, "Whiskey Blues." An unusual and important a cappella track entitled "Rubin Stacy" features singer Al Jacquez. This one stirs deep and dark emotions relating a story of the mob murder of a young black man. No love songs here, these are stories of hard times, fast times and insincere relationships. The music will move you and push you to boogie down. The collection is close to perfect in musicianship, recording technique and mastering. "Somewhere Between Detroit & Chicago" is a masterful set of music by veteran and talented musicians. This one should open the door for the world to take notice of Measured Chaos.

Somewhere Between Detroit And Chicago SMOKES!
author: The Rocket
Somewhere Between Detroit And Chicago SMOKES! When listening to it, I was reminded of what it was like when I heard The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour" for the first time. I found myself saying, "What are these guys going to come up with next?" Every song was a winner with no "filler" songs. A number of them jumped right out and beckoned to be played on the radio. I highly recommend listening with headphones to hear one of the most jaw dropping albums of the year!!!
