Sounds Like: Jethro Tull meets Beck meets Herbie Mann... More accurately this music sounds like Chritopher Lawhead playing Flutes, Saxes, Guitar, and Vox. Matt Skellenger plays Electric Bass, Marc Nahtass plays Keys, Dave Miller plays Drums. On previous albums you hear Rudy Royston, Ryan Conway, Jack Alterman, Tom Gray, John Tally; and a few wild animals layed down some tracks as well. The LAWHEAD Album "Close" has been labeled Jazz Roots, and "Step Up" has been called Flute Rock... Tell us what you think. Leave a comment or a joke. Aloha...
