In blatant defiance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous maxim about there being no second acts in American lives, that most quintessentially American of bands, Styx, enters a new phase here after three-and-a-half decades of life. When their one-off cover of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" became a surprise hit, Styx followed up with an entire album of cover tunes, 2005's BIG BANG THEORY. Here they lay bare their roots in both classic rock and Chicago blues (they are, after all, natives of the Windy City themselves). Tackling tunes by such 1960s rock icons as the Who ("I Can See for Miles"), Jimi Hendrix ("Manic Depression"), and, of course, the Fab Four (the aforementioned classic), they remain reverential. However, they take a few more liberties on the still-timely Willie Dixon composition "It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace)" and the Sonny Boy Williamson-via-Allman Brothers chestnut "One Way Out." They venture furthest afield, though, on a reinvention of their own "Blue Collar Man" recorded at the former site of legendary Chicago blues label Chess Records, and featuring guest shots from blues icons Koko Taylor and Johnnie Johnson.
