LambBone is the musical creation of John J. Lamb of Fairfield, CT. The music encompasses many styles and could be aired in formats including jazz, blues, rock, fusion, roots or any eclectic show. On “Wild Man,” Lamb plays all the instruments. He sings, plays various keyboards, adds percussion, and even plays kazoo on the eleven songs of which Lamb wrote or co-wrote ten.
Here's what the critics are saying about "Wild Man"
"7 out of 9 stars"

- Adam Harrington, Whisperin' & Hollerin'
"LambBone’s ‘Wild Man’ is a wildly eclectic brew of jazz, funk, and blues"
"A gifted, versatile musician utilizing all of his strengths"
- Kit Burns of Overground Underground

The songs are listed here with comments from reviews of the CD.
1. Wild Man – jazz, blues, reggae, roots, rock
The opening title song has jumpy island drums, jazzy textures, and extraterrestrial keyboards. - AH
2. One of These Nights –rock, blues, roots, fusion, jazz
Thumping rhythm builds tension. Funky clavinet and a haunting rhodes space out this story of a guy on the edge.
3. Be My Girl – pop, rock, fusion, jazz, roots.
“Be My Girl” has a soft, jazzy foundation - KB
4. Object of Desire – jazz, rock, funk, roots,
The enigmatic “Object of Desire” has an infectiously toe-tapping beat. - JW
5. Cleveland Blues – blues, jazz, rock, roots, novelty
Serious blues piano compliments this lament about Cleveland sports.
6. Lawyer – pop, rock, jazz, blues, roots, novelty
Spoof on legal biz features best (first) kazoo solo since Jimi on Crosstown Traffic
7. John’s Theme – jazz, blues, fusion, rock, instrumental
The instrumental, “John’s Theme,” moves the heart as well as the mind. - JW
8. Heather – jazz, fusion, blues, rock, instrumental
LambBone’s remake of drummer Billy Cobham’s song is both beautiful and moving.
9. Nothing – jazz, fusion, rock, blues
Those girls sure know what to do about everybody’s man but their own. Nice moog solo, driving rhythm section from the clavinet and rhodes.
10. Hero – pop, rock, jazz, roots
Who is really a hero? LambBone’s answer is stripped down to just piano and vocals.
11. News – blues, jazz, bossa nova, samba, rock, roots
The kiss-off “News” disguises its knife-sharp words with percolating tropical grooves - JW
