The 42nd album by The Council Of Thirteen continues the progressive and classic rock sounds of the Council. 15 new epic songs written by keyboardist/composer John W. Edwards. This time COT offers a tribute to the style and sound of America's favorite rock band, Chicago. With thoughtful lyrics, inspired production and a horn section for the ages. The album leads off What Do You Have To Lose" a song that has the vibe of "Alive Again". The title track channels a "Call On Me" sensibility and sound. "No More Yesterdays" incorporates a later-style Chicago sound from album like Street Player. "Civil War" is David Foster-era Chicago with a smart pop sound with a bite. "Lucky Tonight" and "One More Dance" are inspired by the Chicago VIII sound of "Harry Truman" and "Old Days". Imagining Chicago with a female vocalist, jazzy, crisp and emotive tones, featured on "You're Mine Tonight", "Different Roads", "Stranger Danger" and "Sunday At The Beach". "You Keep Holding Me Back" is a pure 70s rocker. "Saturday Night Radio" will make you want to get up and dance. Closing out the album is a Peter Cetera-inspired vocal performance on the thought provoking "Human Race". For fans of Chicago, The Buckinghams, The Ides Of March."
