Recensione del - 30/12/2011 - San Juan Street

Translation
The turning point for San Juan Street turns into revelation for the guitarist and songwriter from Austin, opening eyes and ears-for-Shawn Nelson in the time taken to pass the tex-mex and rock. Break into the quarter-disk-produced by Joel Guzman in the same manner as the strength of the landscapes that dominate large rolling hills, clouds that moved by the warm wind, the sun and turn on and off the streets like San Juan Street. All food for friends of those who know how to get to their destination through a minimum of sacrifice, and the ranks of Shawn Nelson has been a long, divided precious time with songwriters Guy Clark ("Guy said Townes That was the best songwriter ever lived, and if I wanted to write songs I Should Study HIM, and I'd be just fine. I'm not sure I've even scratched the surface Of That study ") and Robert Earl Keen (" I was inspired by Robert Earl Because he Seemed like a normal guy, "says Nelson." He Grew up in Houston as I did, and then went to Texas A & M and started playing in college. It kind of opened my eyes and I thought, wow, maybe I can do that "), from college he moved to Nashville for a short period working for the songwriterLiz Rose of Texas but the call has always been strong, in Austin began playing with the Frontage Road, a few other bands like Crazy Chester and experiences between Dallas and Houston before the 3 discs along withThe Ramblers honest - Shawn Nelson & The Ramblers in 2004, Live From Antone's in 2005 and attractive not No Easy Way in 2009, where country, rock and American aggregate in a prospective manner without losing a clear identity to the Texas-breaking collaborations with Joel Guzman (the new album he also produced), expanding the horizon of melodic / instrumental Ramblers with The South Austin Jug Band musicians, violinist Trisha Keefer and some jazz musicians of the Austin music scene as a trumpeter Ephraim Owens. The stunning Nobody Got A Hold On Me carries motes rock and country alike, crowded and taken away by the wind of the desert on the way to Mexico at the accordion, mandolin and trumpet more interesting places like Dreams in the Desert and the final San Juan Street, and there the creative side of Nelson blazes ("I try to write songs That tell the human story, Whether it's war, economics, social struggles, bad weather, ancient mysteries or love. And I try to stick with characters That have a choice to make, or a hill to climb to obstacle to overcome. I feel like I'm a human character in this story as well "). The romantic beauty of More Than California and Mercy does not belong to this but does not regret a past that often puts the distorting lenses Shawn Nelson, country music and violin in Hit the Road and Anna Lee to return to New Orleans experiences as a boy until 'urugano Katrina and snapshots, passions lived' on the road 'in the second part of the electric cut (I Can not Hide, Down Here, the brilliant and Babylon Hollow Moon, including the ballad There's Time), with a surprise in the final with time reggae Daydreamers. Too much head stuns the heart, Shawn Nelson let the flavor flow between Texas and Mexico, and sends us a postcard from San Juan Street, which needs no stamp. Why Fly.
