Chris Spector, Midwest Record "Marshall Lawrence is the real deal and House Call is one fine piece of work." Bill Wilson, Billtown Blues Association "…Lawrence gets it. He knows how to play the blues…. His voice is pleasant, his guitar work grooves, and his stories communicate the blues. This is a nice acoustic set that deserves to be enjoyed." Nik Rodewald, BluesRockReview.com Review Lawrence's kinetic fretwork, his highly original songwriting, and his fresh interpretations of classic blues tunes really stand out… Lawrence's original tunes are uniformly excellent and his delivery, both on guitar and singing is very entertaining…If you're a fan of acoustic blues, you'll like this one.
