Audio CD
Publisher: Cockaroo Entertainment
Stories From Hollywood is a high-energy rock and soulful pop album featuring all original songs. Jon's band includes some of the best and well-respected musicians in the business. The eagerly anticipated album has been in the works for more than a year and showcases Jon's superb vocal range. Don Grierson, Former Head of A&R at Capitol and Epic Records: "Jon Peter Lewis has real charisma as a person, a performer and recording artist. When I first heard Jon's new album, I was really excited by it. The songs are honest yet accessible and he sings them with warmth and conviction."
Corey Moss Senior Writer/Producer MTV: "With `A Little Less Conversation,' JPL gave one of the best performances in `American Idol' history, but he's outdone himself with his debut album. `Stories from Hollywood' is a collection of instantly-infectious songs, with clever, provocative lyrics. In other words, it's the sort of album you wished more former `Idols' dared to make. We knew he was a true entertainer, now we know the kid can write. In fact, JPL's at his best on `Amanda Grace,' with just an acoustic guitar accompanying his sweet falsetto.
Monica Rizzo, People Magazine: "Don't take a road trip without this CD. Jon Peter Lewis has many stories to share - all worth listening to."
Jessica Venditto, AI Magazine: "The long wait was worth it. For many of you who watched Season 3 religiously, you already know that Jon Peter Lewis, a.k.a. JPL has an undeniable talent. His new CD, Stories From Hollywood, allows you to discover it all over again.This eclectic combo of pop, alternative rock and a bit of the blues, mixed with strong vocals, great instrumentals and unique beats, showcases this artist as a star in the making."

I've had this CD since it first came out and am just now getting around to writing a review for it. I love it! There's a good variety of songs and it is one of those rare CDs that I actually like every song, yet each song is very different from the next. If you get a chance to see Jon perform these songs live, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed, just left with wanting to hear more. Which is exactly what we get to do as I hear he is currently working on his second CD! I highly recommend 'Stories from Hollywood'. It's a great one to take on long road trips as listening to the 'Stories' in each song is a good cure for boredom. Jon and his band have a nice original sound in each and every song.

I didnt watch AI when Jon was on there. So i didnt really have an idea of what he was all about. But i still felt that i could give the cd a try and see how it turned out. I enjoyed it after my first listen honestly. One or two tracks that i didnt like but other than that. The cd as whole is worth a purchase by anyone into an artist that has a variety of styles on one cd and makes it work...then check out "Stories from Hollywood".
Nice song selection and vocals on the cd as well hope to hear more from JPL in the future. I'm now interested and more in the know on him.

I bought this for my wife who really loves JPL, but only knew of his performances on American Idol. Like most AI contestants' albums, the album is not representative of his performances there. Rather, it's his own style. I can't say that I love the album, but it's not terrible either. It's a good mix of styles, so you won't get bored with the same-sounding song over and over again.
