Blues Heaven Foundation Review

Blues Heaven Foundation
Music Clubs (Blues), South Loop
Fodor's Review:
For a walk into history, stop by the Blues Heaven Foundation, occupies the former home of the legendary Chess Records. Breathe the same rarefied air as blues (and rock 'n' roll) legends Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, and the Rolling Stones, all of whom recorded here. Check out the Chess brothers' private offices, the recording studio, and the back stairway used only by signed musicians. Don't miss the eerie "Life Cast Portraits" wall showcasing the plaster heads of the Chess recording artists. Make a phone reservation before stopping by-the Foundation keeps irregular hours.
