Album Notes

Persuasions fans & music lovers everywhere have reason to be ecstatic. Jerry Lawson, lead singer of the legendary a cappella group is back and he still ain’t got no band. After leaving the Persuasions in 2003, Lawson announced that he was absolutely through with a cappella forever. Jazz combos and big bands beckoned. But on his way to Russia to record a solo album with the Moscow Philharmonic, (project pending) fate revealed other plans. Along came Talk of the Town, an a cappella group that had been wishing for years that they had a lead singer like Jerry Lawson ---really. Jerry has just finished what he regards as the masterpiece of his life--creating harmonies he long dreamed of, but could never realize. So remarkable was the chance meeting of Lawson and his new group that it was all filmed for a forthcoming documentary. The new CD, Jerry Lawson: Talk of the Town, features 20 stunning tracks (recorded on good ol’, warm analog) a few wonderful guests including Sean Altman former lead singer of Rockapella & Deke Sharon of The House Jacks. There's also a 20 page booklet of liner notes, song comments from Jerry and photos. Beautifully packaged and sure to become a collector's item. Lawson: from a cappella to a cappella The odds of it all happening are almost as good as winning the lottery.
