New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Music critics and world-renowned radio DJ's have referred to Son Lewis as "the real deal". His love of the greatest songs of the past are not just reverent re-treads but modern interpretations. On his new CD "Talking with Ghosts", Lewis brings to life particular songs that inspired him to remain a performing artist for over 40 years now. The "
Ghosts" are not the songwriters, some are gone but some are still with us. The "
Ghosts" are those memories of the past, those specific linkages to time and events that make us who we are today. To forget them is to forget who we are and from where we came.
