This CD will make you move something on your body no matter how stiff you are. As far as I'm concerned I made a good choice in purchasing this CD even if it is over a decade old. It's just as good if not better than some of the newer releases that I have. A must have for any House music lover, or anybody that just has a love and appreciation for quality sound.

I searched high and low for this cd and I finally found it on amazon.com -Yes, I am rejoicing!-This 1992 effort is LIL Louis at his best-This is a gem for your music collection-a wonderful combination of Acid Jazz meets House-the opener "Club Lonely" will have you and anybody else jumping up and down, a perfect workout-turn it up loud, you'll love it. Ditto for "New Dancebeat" Another gem is "Dancing In My Sleep" this jazzy,dreamy track will have you singing the addictive hook, snapping your fingers and tapping your feet. An awesome ballad "Share" will relax you and take you places Calgon never could. This cd is one of those cd for every occasion-put it on, press play and listen, wash the car, clean the house, have a party, make love.... all in that order! Journey with the best, "JOURNEY WITH THE LONELY" BY LIL LOUIS-you won't miss a beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Me Proud To Be A Chicagoan!!!, February 17, 2003

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 release 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!
