The Hammer meets New Orleans is the best way to describe the latest wonderful disc from local bluesman, Shawn O'Halloran.
Usually seen playing great straight-ahead blues with the Stingrays, Shawn has stepped into the spotlight with some great Cajun-infused, jazzy tunes. There's a lotta fun, a lotta soul, and a lotta funk!
Joining this party are Paul Panchezak of Trickbag (drums), Lindsay Harnett (guitar and uke), Neil Nickafor (bass), Ed Roth (accordion, keyboards), Leo Sullivan (sax), and Wayne Krawchuck (harmony vocals). The whole package is ably produced by Michael J. Birthelmer.
You can catch this CD at the Stingrays shows or contact Shawn through the Stingrays site.
Below is the title track from the album.
