"Glass has his own lyrical voice and sharply honed folk pop songs"

Lawrence Morrill Glass spins stories with a novelist's eye (“The Habit of You”) and a poet's heart (“No Christmas This Year”). Evidence: Neanderthal. Sideways winks occasionally emerge (“Tina Fey”). “I wanted to share love songs - some with a smile, some with a tear. Some caught between the two. Maybe find a way to describe the heart’s needs; without forgetting to be happy sometimes."

“Lawrence is a deluxe standard,” red-hot instrumentalist Lew Card says. “His songs play like classic films with Glass in the lead roll professing new visions of love, loss, and the in between. Plus, he has a voice that is smooth as Elvis on the velvet.” Listen closely. You'll hear. “It's as ambitious an album as you're likely to hear in these times of playing it safe and going for the cheap and easy score,” Dango says. “These songs were recorded by artists who, while not lacking in pop sensibilities, nevertheless went beyond mere convention on every track. This is an album that may seem simple enough on first listen, but repeated listening will reveal truly thoughtful song craft and layer upon layer of sonic texture, rich with meaning and feeling." Legendary guitarist Will Sexton echoes: “Such precision, a powerful collection of musicians complimenting Glass's intimate grace.”

Glass currently lives in the Live Music Capitol of the World, Austin, Texas, where he recorded Neanderthal with guitarist/producer James Stevens at EAR Studio. The two are presently starting another collaboration featuring the same lineup of musicians: Adam Temple, Andrew Duplantis, Benito “Ace” Acevedo, Chris Dye, George Duron, Hope Irish, John Dango, Joie Todd, Jonny “Keys” Grossman, Kevin Lovejoy, Lew Card, Mark “GumB” Williams, Marty Muse, Mick Flowers and Scott Reynolds.
