Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Some cities are known for country music. Others for rap or rock.
But Chicago has always been an eclectic music town.
Artists here borrow from the city’s traditions of blues, jazz and soul.
This year’s best local albums also blend genres and some transcend them.
Here are some staff picks from WBEZ’s list of Best Chicago Albums of 2025.
