Review by Ethan Ballantyne

Mark Anthony's latest album, Taylor Street And Ashland Blvd, is a beautiful blend of soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The album takes listeners on a journey through the streets of Chicago, exploring the city's rich cultural heritage and diverse musical landscape.

From the opening track, "Chicago Blues," Anthony's smooth vocals and intricate guitar work set the tone for the entire album. Each song tells a story, from the hauntingly beautiful "South Side Serenade" to the upbeat and catchy "Windy City Love."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The L Train," a poignant tribute to the Chicago Transit Authority's iconic elevated train system. Anthony's lyrics capture the gritty realism of the city's streets, while his guitar playing evokes the sound of the train rushing past.
