"Robert Lamm in his third solo effort displays his diverse musical talents, with his new sound and always distinct voice. Though different than his Life Is Good album,a few of the tracks seemed familiar in form. The cuts that caught my ear were, Love Of My Life, Love To Call Your Own, and Will People Ever Change. This Cd is for the open minded Lamm fan, that realizes that each Chicago member's solo album is not going to reflect the band's sound .All in all a worth while effort on Robert's Part."

This is SKINNY BOY 2.0

"It seems that some of the reviewers are listening to a different album. This is a re-issue of the 70's LP "Skinny Boy". This came out in between Chicago 7 and Chicago 8. What's really great about it is that the tracks feature Robert and his buddy (the late Chicago lead guitarist) Terry Kath on bass. 2.0 adds some demo tracks and a public service ad....surely designed to be used on the the follow-up to "Skinny Boy". When I first got the LP, "One step Forward", "Someday I'm Gonna Go", "Temporary Jones", and "Brother john" were my favorites. Now I'm also liking "The Door" and "Some of What" in addition. What you've got to remember is the transitionary period in which this came out.....Chicago was one of the top Columbia acts at the beginning of the 70's and most of the songs were Lamminations....but by this time they were starting to lose popularity, they had just built their dream production facility in Nederland, Colorado, other members of the band were writing hit songs, and Chicago albums had a fair amount of production techniques. On this one it is basically Robert, Terry, and a drummer.



In case you don't already know, Robert is the one original member who is not from Chicago.....he's from Brooklyn, New York (and his hometown inspiration really comes through on "Fireplace and Ivy")."

A talented piece of work

"Robert Lamm has created a thought provoking album with incredible lyrics. Phoebe Snow and Carl Wilson add their talents to this very gifted artist. When is he going to do a fourth album? I for one cannot wait! This was his best solo effort by far!"
