This was so very intriguing, so once I learned that his earliest and strongest influences are the late, great Donny Hathaway and the virtuoso that is Stevie Wonder, it made perfect sense why his sound is as such and Jarrod Lawson is such an outstanding compliment to these masters of their craft. As the tutelage of his father and emulation of the aforementioned predecessors would naturally provide the backdrop and mindset for excellence, they are not the only materials woven into his enriched fabric that gives & presents to us what we are enjoying right now."
"I was so caught up in his musicianship along with the rest of his band that the lyrics took a backseat for a moment. I am an avid music lover and I have NEVER heard anything close to this style/lyrics."
"Such a wonderful creative ride...Each song in itself has so many twists and turns....such colorful music...Musical genius...Thanks for sharing your gift with us all Jarrod...All of my friends have been put on...Keep on doing what you do!"
"Classic case of not judging a book by its cover."
"I kinda get a Eric Benet / Trombone Shorty / John Legend feel from his music."
"jarrod is a nod to the old soul singers who sings with depth.i am blessed 2 have come across his project.it is high quality music."
"Jarrod Lawson has the top acoutics, instruments, vocals and song choices."
"I could go on and on but the actual description for this instrument called a "voice" is PERFECTION."

Best Southern Rock

Find Best Price at Amazon"This southern rock music is really good and compares to Lynyrd Skynyrd and other CDs I own. Rick Medlocke - guitar-vocals and Jackson Spires drums - vocals and the others play great southern rock for several albums, before the standard story of nearly having the big time success peters out and they disband, only to form again later for a while."
"One advantage of seeing them in small bar got to stand right in front slapping hands with em while they were jamming! She's got legs clean up to her hairline I wonder if she's worth the climb?I'm on the run got no time for you now I gotta play for this crowd!"
"Bought this cd for my hubby to jam out to on the road for work."
"it is hard to mess up a CD so what can ya say - deliver was on time and it plays perfectly - great addition to my music collection."
"I highly recommend this to the old school Southern Rock fan, as well as the new fan that wants to learn what it was all about!"
"GOOD PRODUCT, FAST SHIPPING."

"This Outstanding set of CDs are a comprehensive compilation of "All" the Hits from the Supremes (1961-1967); Diana Ross & The Supremes (1967- 1969) and the post Diana Ross Supremes of the 1970s. From 1964 thru 1967, the Motown hit making machine called The Supremes produced 10 songs which reached #1 atop Billboard’s Pop Chart and they achieved more success on the R&B Chart. H-D-H's string of hits catapulted The Supremes, Motown and many other Motown artists into national and international spotlight. Behind the dynamic and innovative song writing team of H-D-H, Motown, The Supremes and many others artists thrived as their crossover appeal and demand soared. This was another of many very defining period in the legacy of The Supremes, Motown and all its artists. From 1962 thru 1967, H-D-H also wrote for many other Motown artists and future legends. During this period, they wrote all the music and lyrics and produced The Supremes to 10 #1 hits as well as several Billboard #1 Pop hits for other Motown artist (i.e., The Four Tops and Martha and The Vandellas. Their final #1 Billboard hit for The Supremes and Motown was the 1967 song, “The Happening”. After the departure of H-D-H, Smokey again stepped up as principle writer for other artists in Motown's deep and rich talent pool, including the renamed Diana Ross & The Supremes."
"This is the 3rd set of Supreme's CD's I've purchased, and the 3rd is truly a charm!"
"Very good quality purchased to replace old vinyl."
"Great item and very fast shipping, very happy!"
"Probably could have used only one disc of the two."
"Excellent quality CD of The Supremes!"
"GREAT COLLECTION OF SONGS."

"DEEP AS THE OCEAN", is a light flowing song of an eternal pledge of love. The concluding piece here is the quizzing, gentle.."DOES YOUR MOMMA KNOW ABOUT ME", though it's a remake, it's completely new to me, it's the first I ever hear this song and I do love this one.. ONE statement: though I do love his remakes, I see WILL is increasing the amount on each of his recent albums..ONE or TWO is fine for me..not FOUR or more..it would do him well to keep the remakes to a bare minimum..."
"And as a Chicago Stepper I am comfortable with stating "This Song is For You" is without a doubt Will's best stepper track ever."
"It's exactly what I knew it would be....great music from Will Downing."
"He has that magic in his voice that will soothe the most agitated in people and coupled with a glass of fine wine or with the one you want to be with and the evening is on and poppin'!!!"
"I love Will Downing's spin on the remakes "Saving all my love" and "Closer than close"."
"Cool, soothing, smooth sounds of Will Downing, make listening a way to unwind from a hectic day."
"I listen to this CD constantly, especially while driving."
"Thank you seller, I love Will."

"The song selection and choral and orchestral renderings are beautiful and so fitting for the Christmas season."
"I think the Robert Shaw singers are the quintessential coral singer for Christmas songs, none better."
"I ordered this album to approximate an old 33 LP record by the same-named choir (probably different singers many years later) that my parents had when I was a child in the '50s and '60s."
"Great compilation of Christmas carols, all beautifully done in acapella."
"My feeling after listening to this several times is that most of the songs are simply too short, clocking in at well under two minutes."
