Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I've been tweaking around with this for hours and cannot get it to work.
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!

Re: Need help with Chicago bibtex style - possible natbib er
To get around the \endgroup issue with natbib try the following quick fix from http://www.mrunix.de/forums/showthread.php?p=293721 :
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)
