Bells Of

Bells Of was primarily the project of Washington, D.C.-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Lawrence McDonald, who debuted in 1992 with 11:11, an eclectic collection of home recordings cut with a variety of guest musicians. His sophomore record, 1994's Two Dos or Not 2?, collected material dating back as far as 1986, with the spotlight on McDonald's increasingly jazzy guitar work; a third Bells Of record, 3's Company, followed. In 1999, album number four, 4 Your Listening Pleasure, was released. ~ Jason Ankeny
