Popular American Idol finalist Jon Peter Lewis has released his greatly anticipated album, Stories from Hollywood, AIW has learned.

It's been a long wait for fans of Jon Peter Lewis, a.k.a. JPL, but he finally released his full-length CD this week. We will get the lyrics up on our American Idol music page as soon as we get our hands on the record.

JPL may not have won American Idol, but when he and his band perform songs from the new record, fans have been impressed. The songs written by himself and members of his band are good. He's got the whole indie pop rock thing going, and that's right up his fans' alley.

Interestingly, Jon also turned 27 years old this week. Happy birthday!
