Australian Blues/ Roots/ Country band 'Blue Shaddy' are a band with connections, given that founding members, Jim McClelland, (guitarist singer/songwriter) Graham (Belly) McClelland (harmonica) and Sandy McClelland ( bass guitarist) are family.

Born and bred in the Western Australian town of Kellerberrin these three have not lost that rustic, relaxed country charm that has endeared them to so many. Known for their infectious amalgam of blues /roots, come country played with an energetic physical presence and power that leaves you with a broad smile and a new found energy.

'Blue Shaddy's musical path was inevitable with brothers Jim and Belly sharing a small house on the family farm, and with television baned from the house, considered poison for the brain these two would sit at the kitchen table and trade Hound Dog Taylor and Sonnie and Brownie licks nightly for months on end. A meeting soon after with like-minded, and also musically spirited 'Sandy Naughton' found her also sitting at that same table going through what was to become the Blue Shaddy apprenticeship. Some 19 years later, Jim and Sandy have now married and along with Belly have maintained a passionate and unwavering commitment to their music, forging their way on festival circuit and gaining fans far and wide.

This album was recorded at LOOP STUDIO, Perth, Western Australia. We recorded it live with no overdubbing etc. We had a few hassles with snare rattle so we spread out, each in various rooms and looking at each other through windows. We were fortunate to have the expert services of Graham Owens (worked with successful Australian bands, Skyhooks and Sherbet at the peak of their popularity) on the desk with studio owner, Don Morrison. The resulting ‘sound’ of the album is a testament to the skills of these two and the studio. It was recorded in analog onto 2” tape then mixed down onto DAT. Rick O’Neil at Turtle Rock Productions, Sydney, then mastered it.

Western Australian outfit Blue Shaddy have started to attract a lot of positive national attention in the last twelve months. The band reached number 1 on the Perth Indie Charts in May, received a Best Instrumentalist Award (Belly McClelland) at the 2007 Blues at Broadbeach Awards in the same month, and then in November took out the2007 MusicOz Blues & Roots Artist. Plus, the word of mouth on their amazing live show saw Blue Shaddy gain invitations to most of the major music festivals on offer.

Early 2008, and that attention is set to grow further, with Blue Shaddy releasing BURY MY GHOST – their fourth album and best yet. With multi instrumentalist and band member Arun Satgunasingam in the producer’s seat, the aim was to capture the raw, infectious energy and exuberance that is synonymous with Blue Shaddy. Combine that with the unique mix of world drumming and percussion, groove laden bass, acoustic and lapslide guitars, rhythmic harmonica and heartfelt vocals and the result is a true reflection of the exciting Blue Shaddy sound.
