Free Music Notes for 9th Ward Pickin' ParlorFree Music Review: Got it for free on a promo and would have paid for it had I known how good it was! Hit: 5 StarsI hadn't heard of Mullins before the CD was offered as a free promo. I picked the CD because the title intrigued me. I put the CD in my computer to rip it to my iTunes and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the music. It's a bluesy mix of country and pop. So far, "Beautiful Wreck" is my pick of the bunch, but I'll certainly be listening to the CD more than once.
Free Music Review: Even Better In Concert Hit: 5 StarsWe recently saw Shawn Mullins in concert and of all concerts I've been to, this one blew my mind. He is an amazingly talented performer and musician and one of the few these days who sounds better in person than recorded. This CD is great and is one of those that grows on you the more you listen to it. The tracks are ecclectic, as some reviewers note, but they show a range of talent and aren't just fillers. In the age of itunes, I rarely like a CD enough to buy ALL the songs, but this was an exception to the rule.
Free Music Review: new Shawn Mullins Hit: 5 StarsThis album is a musical journey through almost every human emotion. As Beautiful Wreck continues to climb the charts (as it should) watch out for Find Love to be a potential follow up. Find Love is tender, heartwarming, and takes you through Mullins' entire vocal range. It is a masterpiece, as are most of the songs on this record.

Free Music Review: Pretty Good Hit: 4 StarsI bought this album for the song 'Cold Black Heart', but the rest of the albumn slowly grew on me. While 'Cold Black Heart' reminded me more of an Irish Reel, the rest of the songs were more folk/country, which I don't always prefer. But after a while those songs ended up being better than the track 3 for why I had purchased this. Songs like "All Fall Down" and 'Homemade Wine" with it's lyrics, makes this whole albumn worth listening to many times over.
Free Music Review: Not his usual fare, but great stuff... Hit: 5 StarsI agree with the other reviewers that if you're expecting another "soul's core", you will be disappointed. Personally, I respect Shawn's ability to create; to change and develop himself musically. It's art, people.
If you like any of Shawn's stuff and haven't listened to Eggshells, please do so. It's worth the original version of "Shimmer" alone. It's my personal favorite of his albums.
If you haven't seen him live, please do so! His voice is absolutely amazing...
