Lamm Not Lame
W. Michael Brown | 06/04/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This was well worth the wait. Mr. Lamm's mature voice lends itself well to these wonderful Bosa Nova classics. His own compositions such as "The Possibility Of Life" sound as though they could have been written years ago.

What a great thing to have for the summer ahead. A word of warning to current day Chicago fans. There are no power ballads. No high pitched hootin' and hollerin' about lovin' someone forever because they're your hero. It's subtle. Turn your baseball caps around the right way, listen and enjoy!"
Highly Listenable

"I had high hopes for Lamm's Bossa Project when I first heard about it maybe 18 months ago. I'd heard cuts from it on his MySpace and was impressed; yet it seemed, from the length of time it took for it to be released on disc, that Lamm had trouble selling this project. The Bossa Project is unlike anything Lamm has recorded before, and certainly a departure from his work with Chicago. Lamm admits to a long love of bossa music, popularized by the likes of Stan Getz, famous for Girl from Ipanema back in the 1960s.



This collection of covers interspersed with originals is a worthy addition to Lamms' legacy, showcasing his unmistakable style as a composer, but also the lower range of his voice, which is a perfect fit for this genre. Notable cuts include covers of A Man and a Woman, Aguas de Marco, Nice "n' Easy and Girl Talk (although the latter, by today's standards, might be a touch politically incorrect!), Samba in Your Life, as well as the Lamm originals Send Rain and, particularly, The Possibility of Life.



Kudos, Robert, for once again pushing the envelope of contemporary music! Highly listenable and recommended.

It will be a Bossa summer at our house!

"Our home is FILLED with die-hard Chicago fans, who also follow all of the diverse solo work by members of this very talented group. Robert Lamms' Bossa Project is fresh and feels good. His smooth voice is just what this music calls for. While perfect for background music, take the time to just listen and absorb without distractions. Beautiful and unique. The power of the music can relieve the days tension and bring back the smile. You can't help but sing/him along, tap your feet, or in our case, bounce around the house! So glad it's finally out! Enjoy!"
