Rick Shea’s brand of meta-physical roots music is apparent in the title track of his new record “Shelter Valley Blues”. I may not fully comprehend all the references and allusions, but with lines like “I walked into the fire slightly stoned and slightly wired to lose myself in mescaline and booze, now I’ve got no recollection of my death or resurrection” it’s pretty clear this is not simply a song or an album about typical Nashville country themes.
Pre-order this July 21st release here.
P.S. All posts of late are slightly abbreviated due to the onset of summer (finally!) in Chicago. Music still rocks, even if my prose falters.
