Jeff Hanson

This album does not mark a radical departure from Jeff Hanson's previous two records, as the essential elements are still here.

This songwriter has one of the most beautiful voices you'll ever hear. This is his second album for KRS, following 2003's "Son".

Expect great things from him.
