(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a pleasant surprise to devotees of the timeless old standards. Lawson, however, chooses not to cover those favorites that already have been worn thin. Instead, Lawson's impeccable selections merely are reminiscent of genres belonging to earlier eras and he performs them in keeping with the intent of the original composers. Lawson's earnest emotional intensity reincarnates these lesser-known musical gems, giving them new meaning for the delight of his audiences, both veteran and novice. His soothing sounds captivate his listeners and are likely to have them subconsciously swaying with the rhythms and humming along with the tunes. This thoughtful and caring artist incorporates his own experiences and sentiments into the soul of his compositions, resulting in a pleasing reward for those who seek transformation to a place where thought-provoking music tenderly envelopes those who journey there. This CD debuts a dynamic new voice that understands longing, loneliness and love, and that yet can be light-hearted and mischievous. After experiencing his superb range of moods and shadings that provide the framework for this album, his appreciative audience finds that it has fallen in love with his voice and waits in anticipation for his next release."
