Albums

… “After listening to this album it is obvious that Marshall Lawrence understands the blues and has the ability to translate it for today's audience through his clever songwriting, deft fingers and soulful voice. This is one of the best new albums I have heard this year, and if you are a fan of Delta music or just like the blues, House Call is sure to please.
