Re: Scott Shea-son of Red-new CD
Sorry everybody but I'm on a roll now
I have spent some time on Scott's own website finding video and audio links and in particular the blurb on the following page
http://www.scottsheasongs.com/about-scott-shea/
Shea’s debut solo album, Let it Storm (2014), distills the richness of his own take on life. A ten-song suite of mood and texture, Let It Storm grounds the listener in lyric landscapes of emotions, and the poetry of the deeply felt—and keenly observed—nuances of everyday living. The album was developed during a reflective period following his father’s death and composed on the same guitar his father used in all of the early Lightfoot hits (If You Could Read My Mind, Carefree Highway, etc), and pays homage to the foundational essences of songwriting..........
Scott’s songs have been categorized as folk/roots/Americana with the emphasis on folk/roots and compared to an unplugged Fleetwood Mac or Crowded House, lyrically.
With the blood of his father running through his veins, it’s not surprising that instrumentally he has been compared to Gordon Lightfoot. That being said, it is hard to compare him to anyone, Scott Shea’s music remains resolutely his own
On at least one linked website's page all the songs on the album are listed and can be played or bought.
