It was the most recent Jack Jones CD, but as I opened the jacket saw the handwriting of Jack Jones himself. He wrote a beautiful inscription. It’s a great album and I really love it. I drove around and listened to it from beginning to end several times. Thank you Jack Jones and thank you to his team. Now, I’m going to take you back to that hot night where I sat down with G. Love.

“One Way Ticket” by TxT (a.k.a. The Treatment)— the album review Reviewer: Paul Leslie You think you’ve seen and heard everything in music, and then along comes an artist like The Treatment. His debut album, “One Way Ticket,” is a captivating ride. It’s not all entertainment, but rather listening gives you the impression that he’s a communicator of the profound. However, that’s not to say he takes himself too seriously. Being an entertainer is very much a part of the tracks he writes and records. At times it’s deep, philosophical stuff. On “One Way Ticket,” the delivery is smooth and really call the attention of the listener to the lyrics. TxT is saying something with his tracks.
