    Makes Me Proud To Be A Chicagoan!!!

    By Reginald  Sep 22, 2004

    Pros: Everything!

    Cons: None

    This album is the BOMB! From start to finish you can't help but move your feet! At the risk of sounding like the other reviewers I too must say that this album is nothing short of a masterpiece! Based on my feelings towards the previous album rel...ease I bought "Journey With The Lonely" right after its release. To play it 10 years later and have the same feeling now that I had then is a testament to the quality of the project. This album further proves that a dj -- whos primary focus is that of playing records -- can also have a degree of musicianship. 1992 saw a shift in the direction of House music in Chicago: jazz influences. This album lays down the perfect blueprint for anyone who needs a history lesson. "Club Lonely" has to be one of the few tracks in which the album version perfectly compliments the EP. Excellent vocals and a simple, but driving bassline. Then comes the perfect segue "New Dance Beats", continuing in the jazz chords and smooth basslines. "Saved My Life" and "Aahhhh!" are just 100% dance tracks. "Do U Luv Me" is a hypnotic melodic tune that is more subtle in the chords but it still has alot of punch to it. "You're My Reason" and "Dancing In My Sleep" feature wonderful vocals. "Funny How U Luv" is another obvious jass-infusion that moves the soul. Then there's "Thief" and my sleeper track - "Share", which is by far one of the most emotionally tugging songs I know of. The entire ablum makes me proud to be a Chicagoan! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Journey with the Lonely

  • All Music Guide

    Unlike the collaborationheavy first Lil' Louis LP, Journey with the Lonely is an introspective affair with fewer helpers. Tracks like "Club Lonely," "Dancing in My Sleep," and the closer, "Jazzmen," veer quite far away from "French Kiss" with regards to their mood and intention, even though the chords and beatwork may be similar.
