New York, NY (Top40 Charts) A founding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chicago, and a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Robert Lamm has been writing and recording hit material for 50 years, with 16 Top 10 singles and 17 platinum albums to his credit. The music of Lamm and his band has been part of our national fabric for a half century.
Omnivore Recordings is pleased to announce the June 2, 2017 release of Lamm's Time Chill, A Retrospective, the first-ever look back at the music Robert has been composing as a solo artist for nearly 20 years.
The collection contains 15 songs that hail from solo albums Robert has been producing since 1999. Included are tracks from his collaboration with Carl Wilson of the
Beach Boys and Gerry Beckley of America; previously unissued remixes by longtime Lamm producer John Van Eps (including a take on Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"); and a previously unreleased version of
Bobby Hebb's classic "Sunny."
"Musicians tend to listen to all types of music," Lamm writes in the liner notes. It's the way we are wired. Often we are hearing music internally. That's always been my experience. I observe, I read, I have interests in cinema, painting, sculpture, fashion, and performance. Those communications are what inspire me to compose music. These songs are an emotional and reactive narrative of my life, my love."
With track-by-track liners from Lamm, Time Chill, A Retrospective is the perfect primer for an up front and personal look at the music of Robert Lamm.
