Chicago Breakdown is a collection of blues recordings made in Chicago in the early 1960’s by Norman Dayron. It was recorded, for the most part, in the apartments or basements of the artists, but sometimes the recordings were made in small clubs on the South Side or the West Side. The feeling of the various sessions was always easy and natural. There was no sense of formality or self-importance. Only the sense of musicians and their friends trying to please each other. As such, these recordings are unusual and very personal. They are also fine examples of the work of traditional blues artists who lived in Chicago at a time when electric band blues was the predominant sound of the city.
