From Chicago, legendary birthplace of the urban blues style which became the sound of the Fifties and Sixties, the 21st Century arrives letting us know how tomorrow sounds today. The children of the Seventies have seen more of civilization and life than any previous generation. A song heard here by the 21st Century describes growing up with "a man on the moon and hippie communes" echoing the frustrations of young people who see themselves being handled a world they did not create; yet all the while their music speaks loudly with the joy of youth. Surrounded since birth by a sophisticated musical tradition, they have learned to sing with intensity and feeling about today and tomorrow. Listen ... and welcome to the 21st Century!
