For your listening pleasure, the companion playlist to My Kind of Sound: The Secret History of Chicago Music by Steve Krakow.
My Kind of Sound compiles more than a decade worth of “The Secret History of Chicago Music,” the illustrated column by Steve Krakow (“Plastic Crimewave”) that has been printed bi-weekly in the Chicago Reader since 2005. There is much to discover in these stories; amidst the slighted fame, botched contracts, overdoses, and break-ups, Krakow spotlights the glory that exists in making music.
Have a listen and enjoy some of the gems lovingly profiled in this collection covering over 200 artists from Chicago's vast musical history.
