Free Music Notes for Eggshells
Free Music Review: Fans can never be objective...
Hit: 3 Stars
From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...Shawn Mullins is underrated, but nevertheless this is not his best performance. He sounds good with an acoustic guitar and his storytelling songs, but after a while it just starts putting you to sleep.Free Music Review: One of the Best Albums I've Ever Heard
Hit: 5 Stars
Put simply, this is probably my all-time favorite album. If you like looking at how Shawn Mullins sounds without all the "produced" new stuff, then get this album. The stripped-down version of "Shimmer" is worth the price alone. Truly one of our best modern-day poets/storytellers.Free Music Review: My all-time favorite album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is absolutely my all-time favorite album. I can listen to it over and over and over and ... and i mean that. If you like Shawn's new stuff, to me, this is even better. Likable, some fun songs, some serious songs, and great guitar to go with it.Free Music Review: The Best of Shawn
Hit: 5 Stars
Instead of writing a typical review of this album, I will provide you with five good reasons as to why you should purchase this album:1. On this album, Shawn uses his deep voice and perfectly matched melodies to create a mood and a sound that resonate long after the album in finsihed playing.
2. The lyrics are shatteringly true. This album will relate to those who have had to make difficult choices in life, to those who have fallen in love, to those who have had their hearts broken, to those who are confused with what life has to offer, and to those who feel like they are a lost soul.
3. With each song, the listener becomes more engaged with the lyrical journey. Whether you have heard all of his music or heard none of his music, you will connect with the songs on this album - it IS that good.
4. Track # 12: Shimmer. To those who are fans of Shawn's music already, this version of the song is the reason to run out and buy the album. He plays the song with more heart, and he is more exposed. While he plays this song as it should be played - Shawn, his voice, and his guitar - the listener feels as though they are in the room with him as he is recording the song.
5. When in the right mood, this album and these songs will hit all of the right "notes." Once again, he touches on emotions and feelings that we all feel as though we have felt; he exposes his life with honesty, and he creates a listening experience that is like no other.
I urge you to buy this album.
Free Music Review: Wow!
Hit: 5 Stars
I went to the store to get Soul's Core back in December of... 97, I guess. They had several Shawn Mullins CDs, and Eggshells was the cheapest, so I got it, as well. Wow!! I have loved this album ever since. It's just... incredible. You can *feel* the music, hear everything he's thinking and feeling in his voice. My favorite are "Two Choices (My Ship)", "Joshua" (I'm writing a play based on this song, actually), "Cycle of Our Souls", "Eggshells" (my when-I'm-deppressed theme song) and "Salt Lake City 1973". The accoustic version of "Shimmer" is excellent, as well, and if you like it you should check out Jeff's Last Dance Vol. I, an album you can purchase from Shawn's independent record label's site. Anyway, if you like bluesy, folky, jazzy accoustic rock, then BUY THIS CD!!! You won't regret it.
