1993 Robert Lamm – Life Is Good In My Neighborhood
Life Is Good In My Neighborhood is the second solo album by Robert Lamm, one of the founders of Chicago. It was released at a time when the band was close to collapse, having a musical disagreement with their then record label Warner Brothers. The album was recorded in four different sound studios in Los Angeles and New York, the places where Lamm owns houses.
