Once in a while you find an artist / album that you really connect with. I had heard Shimmer, Beautiful Wreck, and Lullaby / Rockabye over the last few years on the radio, and liked them. But only recently, I accidentally discovered the greater scope of Shawn Mullins music on a DirectTV On-Demand video of the Variety Playhouse concert that is the same show as this album.
In addition to the great songs, the sound quality and acoustic clarity of Shawns guitar playing and vocals on this album is outstanding.
But what really sets this album apart is the repeat-playability of these story telling tunes. I have listened to this album on and off for several months now, and never get tired of listening to it.
Its impossible to decide if I like the intimate solo acoustic numbers like "Home", "Twin Rocks Oregon" and "Fraction of a Man" better, or the jammin, rockin out with the band on "All in my Head", "Santa Fe", "Shimmer", "Beautiful Wreck", and "Lullaby". They are all excellent.
WARNING: Listen with caution if you are prone to indulgences with alcohol or other substances. You may just want stop what you're doing, break open a bottle and settle in for the whole album. For an example of this just listen to "Twin Rocks Oregon".
