I have performed 'Lineman' many time live and recorded several versions of the song in the past. There is something quick tricky about her and she always gives you a run for the money! While on tour in early 2020 performing my 'Rides Again' album in Europe, we checked into the incredible Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! studio In Hamburg and setup house. We recorded two songs completely live with band straight onto analog tape. I was fortunate to have some of my best buddies joining me on the session: Carwyn Ellis, Dave Page, Adrian Meehan and Joe Harvey Whyte. We made quite a noise and this here record is the result!\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50465163805003,"sku":"1097503","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"rides-yet-again","title":"Rides Yet Again","description":"\u003cp\u003eShawn Lee follows up his country-soul solo album \u003ci\u003eRides Again\u003c\/i\u003e, released in 2019, with an even more personal, intriguing set of songs. The US born and London based prolific singer, songwriter, musician, producer, arranger, filmmaker and author puts the story of \"Rides Yet Again\" in his own words. \"When the original pandemic lockdown of 2020 ascended upon the world, I found myself like many others a prisoner in my own home. I began thinking about making new music. What do I wanna do I pondered… \u003ci\u003eRides Again\u003c\/i\u003e was a personal once in a lifetime album or was it? After some reflection, I realised there was more to this story, this sound. As I eventually crept back to my studio ducking and diving all the way, I started writing and recording new songs for Rides YET Again. The lyrics heavily informed by life during lockdown, my new dog Carla and my recent health problems. I had suffered a stroke which left me with some brain damage and I struggled with Aphasia for well over a year with extremely impaired speech. It was hard … I found solace in song and a musical context to share my ups and downs. It was a beautiful place to retreat to. John Pickup brought his brilliant orchestral treatments. Also Nichol Thomson, Tom Walsh, Mike Davis \u0026amp; Andy Ross blessed me with their sublime horn stylings. Suffice to say I'm really quite fond of this little record. Much love to you wherever you may be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Yellow | LP","offer_id":50525905027403,"sku":"1150442","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/shawn-lee.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
