5.0 out of 5 stars 3 immense talents combine April 1 2003
By Brett Simpson
Format:Audio CD
As a big fan of both Chicago and America I bought this CD, not quite clear as to how such a collaboration would sound, especially with what was, to me, the wildcard of throwing a Beach Boy into the mix. It's certainly closer to the harmony-drenched America/Beach Boys style than anything Chicago has ever done, but fans of any of these bands should find much to enjoy on this disc.

Virtually every song is a winner. "Today" is a fine opener, "I Wish For You" should have been a monster AC hit and their take on Nillson's "Without Her" is the best version I've ever heard.

Along with these songs each member contributes one each of the three tracks that make this album an essential purchase: Robert Lamm's "Feel The Spirit" is his tribute to fallen Chicago bandmate Terry Kath. The emotional weight of this song is immense, Lamm's lead vocal the best on the CD - no mean feat. "Watching The Time" is as good a song as Gerry Beckley has ever written, although it's sentiments seem to have been taken too seriously by Lamm's bandmates. Finally, the title track closes the album in the form of another tribute, this time from Carl Wilson to his brother Brian. Even a non-Beach Boy fan such as myself cannot help but be moved by this one.

Carl Wilson's death before the disc was completed means this project can never be repeated. In a way this is fortunate - it would have been very hard to top.

5.0 out of 5 stars CARL WILSON AT HIS BEST!!!!! Mar 23 2003
By Doanld J. Barger
Format:Audio CD
With most of the songs on this CD being sung (and several being written) by Carl Wilson, it is only fitting that the real two gems are sung by him. "Today", which is written by John Waite (remember the group THE BABYS?), is an untempo number with a great melody and Carl really sings his heart out on it. It is well produced and it could have easily been a top ten hit. But it is Carl's own song "I Wish For You" that shines like a bright star in a dark sky. With a gorgeous melody, this is a ballad with a slightly upbeat tempo. His words are meant for his wife and children after he is no longer there for them. He wishes them Love, Hope and Peace and ("Someone to hold you through all the tears"). But it is the wonderful melody and Carl's gentle yet forceful voice that will keep you playing the song over and over again. Beckley does a fine Job on his songs. Robert Lamm seems to struggle vocally on his. Buy this CD before it goes out-of-print music lovers. It is more than well worth it.

AMERICA, CHICAGO & BEACH BOYS FAN FOR SOMETIME. I THOUGHT AFTER
READING SOME OF THESE REVIEWS, I WOULD NOT BE DISAPPOINTED - BUT
I WAS. CARL NEVER WAS A GOOD LEAD VOCALIST, ROBERT LAMM LOST IT
A FEW ALBUMS AGO. ONLY GERRY BECKLEY MADE THIS CD WORTH BUYING.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Carl
Having been a Beach Boys fan for as long as I can remember, I'm always excited when a project becomes available involving one of the boys (especially if his last name is Wilson). Read more
