Chicago Country Legends

The Sundowners' music and love of life struck a chord with generations of music fans. They are true legends in Chicago and an important part of the city's ongoing connection with country music. "Echoes of the Sundowners can be heard in urban honky tonks ranging from the Hideout on the Near North Side to Carol's Pub in Uptown to Fitzgerald's in BErwyn. Jon Langford and the Mekons used to jam with the traditional Western trio, although the Sundowners were almost twice the age of the punk band from Leeds, England." - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
