Folksinger and punk rock stalwart Lenny Lashley has unveiled his new single “Heart of Stone” off of his forthcoming album Five Great Egrets (Omerta MIA) under the moniker Lenny Lashley’s Gang of One. The album is due out later this year both digitally and on vinyl. 

“Thematically, it’s the same as the rest of my solo material,” explains singer-songwriter Lenny Lashley. “All of the stuff that I write is directly related to my personal life in one way or another.”  

From a tense relationship (“Heart of Stone”) to a song of hope and guidance (“It Got So Dark”) to the struggle and realization that you cannot change others (“Not Sorry”) to integrity (“Joe”) to humanity (“Mexico”) – Five Great Egrets sheds light on Lashley’s straightforward and optimistic outlook on life. Also, “Park Your Carcass” was co-written by Dicky Barrett and Joe Gittleman of The Mighty Mighty BossToneS. Fortunately, the song didn’t make the cut for their album and was given to Lashley.
