Mama and Papa Poss huddle up by their fireplace as thunder crashes outside when all of a sudden: bam, bam, bam! It’s a poor, soggy, vagabond bullfrog seeking shelter from the storm. Turns out, he’s no ordinary bullfrog. He sings the blues, and he was on his way to Chicago when the squall sent him adrift. Storm or no storm, a chance to play with local legends like Muddy Panther and Chimp Diddley in the windy city is worth pulling a few strings. And good thing they do: Quentin Tarantula happens to be in need of musicians to record the soundtrack to his upcoming film, Blues Sisters.

The narrated story is followed by the songs "The Bullfrog Blues" and "Sugar Blues."

“Making It Big in Chicago!” is the fifth story in the “We’re a Possum Family Band” series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels that bring them across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music.
