Donald Lawrence and Co./YRM (Your Righteous Mind)/Zomba/Verity

If you are a fan of modern gospel music then the name Donald Lawrence is a familiar one. This album is a follow-up to his "The law of confession part one" release. Unlike that one however, this CD contains several song remakes both secular and Christian. What is consistent is the high quality of the music and vocals. if you like Walter Hawkins, Myron butler, or Kirk Franklin you will like this album. Favorite tracks: 1, 2, 11. No FCC. Review by Kesha of LJH.

1. (4:45) - Up beat, foot tapping, funky/jazzy gospel choir sound with guest vocalist Dorinda Clark providing inspired vocals toward the end of the song.
2. (6:36) - Med/Slow bluesy groove with pop and great lead female vocals. A simple repetitive chorus and verse. Great horns section and shout out to musicians!
