Lawson[1] is the first album by John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew. It was Schumann's first album of new material since 1993's True Believers.

It marked the first time that Schumann had worked on an album with Hugh McDonald and Michael Atkinson since Schumann left Redgum in 1985.

The album consists of the poetry of Henry Lawson put to music.[2]
