In anticipation for his live shows, music lovers can indulge themselves with the official release of 
Watch The Sun Live: The Mansion Sessions, as PJ Morton continues his now cherished tradition of celebratory and communal live albums. Combining both the orchestral elements of his Grammy-winning Gumbo Unplugged with the intimacy of The Piano Album, The Mansion Sessions was similarly captured alongside friends, collaborators and fans all together in one big, beautiful room, in the form of one continuous take. The record delivers new arrangements of songs from 2022's Watch The Sun, which earned PJ Morton his sixth consecutive year of Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Album, Best R&B Song and Best Gospel Performance/Song. A rendition of "Good Morning" featuring Susan Carol is part of the set too, as well as a cover of Ms. Lauryn Hill's "The Sweetest Thing," Morton's live show staple "Everything's Gonna Be Alright," and a six-piece ensemble of special guests on chart-topping radio hit, "Better Benediction."
