This is Preston's most recent work and it is done in grand style. This new release mixes Shannon's blues style with the harmony of country producer Clayton McGonigle, making Shannon's latest album his best yet. Hailed as the reigning The King of Beale Street, Memphis' own Preston Shannon is a powerful guitarist with a compelling and soulful voice that sounds like a cross between Otis Redding and Bobby Womack.

Shannon toured for a couple of years as a member of soul singer Shirley Brown's band; in concert he sang Womack's part in the soul duet Brown had done years before with Womack himself. Known to have performed on Bourbon Street and in Memphis area casinos, Shannon is a singer guitarist who can solo himself through a fire-breathing set of slick, urban blues.

Five Time Grammy Nominee Preston Shannon exemplifies to many listeners the power of Southern Deep Soul - hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads. Shannon's lush guitar playing contains echoes of the Kings - Albert & B.B - as well as T-Bone Walker and rhythmic sensibilities of Little Milton. /Amazon
