Stream JC Brooks And The Uptown Sound’s new album
This week only, JC Brooks And The Uptown Sound’s new album, Want More, can be streamed for free from Paste Magazine’s website. The album will get an official release Oct. 25, but until then, fans can open their laptops for a taste of the band’s latest, an infectiously good throwback to Chicago soul.
The group formed in the Uptown neighborhood in 2007 and made its name with the help of local institutions like The Numero Group, which featured the band on its Eccentric Soul Revue tour. The band also got a break by covering one of Chicago’s own, Wilco, with a dance-worthy rendition of “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.”
