      Shawn's music buzzs with life, angst, complexity, pride, gritty honesty,
      and that's just in the first 45 seconds. It's all uphill from there. I
      have seen him live on several occasions and strongly recommend that
      experience as well. It's a thrill to sit in the audience and watch someone
      exult in his craft in a thoroughly unique way. As noted by other
      reviewers, Shawn doesn't do Beatles tunes (which I love, too) -- things
      that are learnable in one listen and you can hum forever, but...there
      *are* songs of his I hum, and his lyrics (where they exist ) are quite
      thought provoking.

      As a neophyte level zero guitar player, it's a treat to watch someone who
      respects and really knows his way around the instrument and the theory.
      It's also kind of neat to watch him retune his guitar into a new special
      purpose tuning after each song. This is not stage antics, and he doesn't
      distract with video, gadgets, but rather keeps you riveted with his
      seamless control of the process.

      Ok -- as for the disks...."The Art...." is dandy and a natural evolution,
      but I haven't listened to it as much as "Peerless", the current version of
      which I cannot recommend strongly enough. The musicality, production
      values, and emotions contained therein are well worth the nickel. Buy it.
