Inner Views is the only album by American singer Sonny Bono as a solo artist, released in November 1967 by Atco Records.

Album history

Following the success of Sonny and Cher, Bono released his first and only solo album, Inner Views, in 1967. Inner Views consists of five tracks and has a limited running time of 33 minutes.

Unlike his then-wife Cher, Bono's attempt as a solo artist was unsuccessful (at the time of the release of Inner Views, Cher had released three successful albums and was simultaneously releasing her fourth album, With Love, Cher). Although Bono had some mild success with his 1965 single "Laugh At Me", Inner Views did not chart on Billboard.

Inner Views does have a historical note, having a one-page ad in the first Rolling Stone magazine on November 9, 1967.
