This collection of Robert Lamm songs will remind you of the eclectic approach of early Chicago albums, but with a very modern flavor! Lamm creates rich harmonic structure with great live players, and loops, beats, samples – but with melodies and chord changes not found in most modern music today.

In addition to the talents of Robert Lamm, the CD also features the excellence of long time collaborator Hank Linderman (Guitar/Vocals), Trent Gardner (Production/Trombone), and showcases the vocal talents and writing skills of rising star ZoSia Karbowiak as well as the talents of Jason Scheff and Drew Hester.

Robert Lamm Songs: The JVE ReMixes. It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before! What producer John Van Eps does to such iconic rock classics by Chicago —all written by Robert Lamm— is another. You might call it deconstructing the songs and rebuilding them from the ground floor up using their DNA.

This project was a labor of love, truly, I could have kept recording for another year, but we were out of time and financing. I really loved exploring the lower ranges of my vocals, and lower volume and velocity of the Bossa Nova style. I have always had the greatest respect for the Brazilian artists who emerged in the 60′s and 70′s. This album is my bow of acknowledgment.

Life Is Good In My Neighborhood offers contemporary 80′s rhythm intro -Latin beat laced with a taste of Samba in the opening song, “My Neighborhood”. Moving into the sultry “When The Rain Becomes”, it then shifts into “In This Country”, a very heavy dance mix coupled with a twist of social conscience. This is followed by the emotional, “When Will The World Be Like Lovers”, a very real message to the heart.
