I was turned onto this album in 1974 and have listened to it at least 200 times over the years. I know it by heart. It’s what I call a desert island album, in my favorite top 10 without a doubt… Whenever I listen to this album, it takes me to far away places, painting pictures in my mind. I can count on one hand the type of artists who have that type of gift, the master storyteller…
I was fortunate to see Shawn play a solo show just outside of Houston in 1984. He is a master songwriter, singer and instrumentalist.
God bless him.
The same person that turned me onto this album also turned me onto another one at the same time, Willis Alan Ramsey. The green album, the only one he ever recorded, lol. Texas has turned out some amazing musicians over the years!!
