If you’re like me you’re gearing up for the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, and digging out the winter gear if you’re not living with snow currently.
(Fair warning, it’s going to be below freezing, and that’s not including the wind).
I love a good playlist, so in honor of Chicago, I’ve pulled together some of my favorite songs about Chicago. Enjoy!
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown (Jim Croce)
25 or 6 to 4 (Chicago)
Chicago Bound Blues (Bessie Smith)
Dancing in the Streets (Martha and the Vandella)
Hitch Hike (most people know the Rolling Stones version, but I also love Marvin Gaye’s )
I’m a Rambling Man (Waylon Jennings)
The Night Chicago Died (Paper Lace)
Shy-Town (Gorillaz)
Something from Nothing (Foo Fighters)
Sweet Home Chicago (Blues Brothers)
Tonight, Tonight (Smashing Pumpkins)
When the Levee Breaks (Led Zepplin)
Windy City Boogie Woogie (Nat King Cole)
