Catholic Guilt, Disillusionment & Depression Never Sounded So Good

     Here it is - 20 tracks of the eclectic sounds of singer/songwriter Steve Shaw. Influenced by the likes of Tom Petty, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Shaw has mixed a large array of instruments to put together a rootsy, electric folk sound. Described as a mix between folk, Americana, and British Rock, think of The Beatles’ "White Album" crashing head-on with Wilco’s "Summerteeth".

    Also included is a 12-page booklet of photos and lyrics of Shaw’s that focus on working class blues, addiction, and the tortuous conflict that seems to exist in his mind as he explores the social and political hypocrisy of the human condition. Have a listen and decide for yourself:

“A serious blend of a soothing voice, quality lyrics and musicianship. A hint of Irish roots. Some resemblance to Toad the Wet Sprocket at times, yet an inspired, original effort. Steve Shaw’s (no relation!) cd remains in heavy play in my cd changer.”
