Although most of them are decent vocalists, many do indeed seem as if they are   <em>trying<\/em> to sound like Ella, or Sarah or someone   else.<\/p>\n<p>Occassionally an artist stands out from the crowd, and <strong>Lois   Dawson <\/strong>is just such an artist. Her release <b>Sunrise<\/b> is a   collection of <i>original compositions<\/i> which include collaborations spanning   several musical genres. Her interpretive style evokes memories of performances   by some of the great jazz vocalists. Not because she sounds like them, but   because her delivery is soulful and rich, filled with the nuances and subtle   emphases that are story telling at it&#8217;s best.   <font color=\"black\"><\/p>\n<p>The fact   that she is both songwriter and songstress certainly gives her an advantage   because she knows how to deliver the message\/feeling\/mood the song was   <em>intended<\/em> to convey. It also works because the songs are well written,   musically as well as lyrically, and ably performed by her band. To quote Lois   from the liner notes, <b>Sunrise<\/b> was recorded&#8230; &#8220;live to DAT, in Gabe   &amp; Noah&#8217;s living room. Two afternoons, no edits&#8230;&#8221; The recording has a   warm, club-like sound that compliments Lois Dawson&#8217;s sound. And Lois Dawson&#8217;s   sounds is something you have to hear to   appreciate.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">For more information visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loisdawson.com\">Lois Dawson home page<\/a>.     <\/div>\n<p><\/font>      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><font face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" size=\"1\">  <cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"\/><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p><\/font>              <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lois DawsonSunrise by S.
