CHICAGO PUSHES SISYPHUS OVER THE TOP

In his book, The Greatest Music Never Sold, author Dan Leroy writes about the Stone Of Sisyphus, the great 'lost' Chicago album. Recorded in 1993 and produced by Peter Wolf, Sisyphus became a cult record immediately after Warner Bros. refused to release it because it wasn't the Chicago record that was expected. Knowing what they had created and not willing to compromise, the band left Warner Bros. and took the album with them.

Powered by Chicago's celebrated horn section, the tracks on SISYPHUS have bite, power and swing, and the 'fire in the belly' that one associates usually with debut albums. The songs touch on a wide range of styles and moods including the energetic horn-driven title track, "Stone Of Sisyphus," the cool funk groove of "Mah-Jong," the anti-corporate rock broadside "Plaid," the touching emotional lyrics of "Pull" and Robert Lamm's rap on "Sleeping In The Middle Of The Bed." "Bigger Than Elvis" features contributions from musicians who worked
with "The King" himself, including The Jordinaires and Jerry Scheff (father of Chicago bassist Jason Scheff).
