History of this Release:
"So-Lo" is not actually a solo album in the traditional sense. As you can see, the entire band
performed on this release. Danny Elfman wrote all the music as he usually did.
'Gratitude' showed up on a couple of Boingo's various
best of compilations and worked its way into the band's live repertoire.
'It Only Makes Me Laugh' was performed again on "Boingo Alive".

* Is this THE Flea (from RHCP)?! >> discuss it here <<
