Need help with Chicago bibtex style - possible natbib error?
I'm trying to use the Chicago bibliography style from this website:http://web.reed.edu/cis/help/LaTeX/bibtexstyles.html
I tried the standard chicago.bst, but the format doesn't seem correct, it looks like APA style (perhaps it's an older version?)
This one seems far more elegant, but when I try to actually use it, the formatting is a bit wonky - it has the bibliography key before each entry, (e.g. it will say:[Feld(1981)] Feld, Steven. “’Flow like a Waterfall’: The Metaphors of Kaluli Musical Theory.”) I want the same thing, but without the the [Feld(1981)] at the front.
I tried including the natbib.sty, because the ChicagoNewReed.bst file says it is needed, but when I do that, I get errors when I try to generate the pdf, saying "Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup"
Can anyone help me out? It would be much appreciated, as I'm not looking forward to manually entering these bibliographies for the rest of my life - nor can I get them to look so elegant manually!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
Re: Need help with Chicago bibtex style - possible natbib er
Put the following after \usepackage{natbib} and before \begin{document}
\renewcommand{\bibAnnoteFile}[1]{%
\IfFileExists{#1}{\begin{quotation}\noindent\texts c{Key:} #1\\
\textsc{Annotation:}\ \input{#1}\end{quotation}}{}}
\renewcommand{\bibAnnote}[2]{%
\begin{quotation}\noindent\textsc{Key:} #1\\
\textsc{Annotation:}\ #2\end{quotation}}
It appears this is a known compatibility issue between newer versions of natbib and bst files generated with older versions of makebst. (Alternatively you could modify your bst)
