A Cappella Records

Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town

Soul is a broad category. There is silky Sam Cooke soul and there is Otis Redding spine-tingling soul. But soul is soul—-it’s not R&B and pop—-and you know it when you hear it. This is an a cappella category for music that undeniably, unmistakably, uniquely moves. . .the soul. The album is a pitch-perfect soulful a cappella tilt-a-whirl of Soul, Country, R&B, Pop & Gospel. Covering Dixie Chicks,  Billy Joel, Shania Twain, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, The Pointer Sisters, Randy Newman to name a few and a special tribute to The Persuasions. Some special guest artists including Deke Sharon & Sean Altman.

Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town’s Debut CD

Persuasions fans & music lovers everywhere have reason to be ecstatic. Jerry Lawson, lead singer of the legendary A Cappella group for 40 years & 22 albums, 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, fate revealed other plans.

Along came Talk of the Town, an a cappella group that had been waiting for Lawson for 35 years—-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.  "Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town" features 20 stunning tracks (recorded on good ol’, warm analog) and a few wonderful guests. Lawson: from A Cappella to A Cappella. The odds of it all happening are almost as good as winning the lottery.
