I had the immense privilege of Shawn playing this for me in his Grandmother's living room (where it was recorded) before it was released. I was doing some gigs with Bobby Rock and Carl Carter and we caught up with Shawn when we went through Memphis. I've never met a more wonderful, kind and humble genius in my life. He jammed with us that night and it was absolutely mind blowing. Man, I wish he was still here.

We are working on getting this re-released. Meanwhile thanks for listening. #TeamShawnLane

This album perfectly exemplifies why Shawn Lane is a master musician above all else. All of these are wonderful compositions and they're never an excuse for him to show off his technical abilities on the guitar. When I was younger, I would be impressed by technical wizardry, but as I've gotten older.. all I care about now is quality music and compositions.

Happy 60th Shawn, wish you were here ♥

I was guitarist in a cover band with bassist Andy Tannis in 1984 and in walks this friend of his from the Black Oak days who I had no clue who he was, he asked to sit in and you can imagine how it felt to resume my position after the sonic onslaught I had endured! Simply the most humbling experience of my performing life! Such a humble sweet soul with lightning in his hands! My favorite ass kicking received, in my life! I was served piping hot humble pie! Yum!!!

The first two tracks take me to a place I’ve never been before. Good memories listening to the album. Beautiful melodies with a lot of heart.

I never get sick of "Get You Back". One of my all-time gorgeous.

[Hyperion]

Shawn Lane was like the earth meets the space. Thank you for all, Mister Shawn.
G.o.a.t for ever.

Shawn thabk you for everything you gave us. Pure sonic beauty. Did you know that he produced that album mainly by hinself? Learning the software and programming and mixing and all the stuff basically overnight? Shawn is up there amongst the great creative geniuses of human history. No matter how many people know your name shawn....i make sure my kids and hopefully grand kids carry you name into the future!

I been playing for 35+ years, 30 professionally. I generally don't like ranking musicians.. but Shawn is the exception. He's was, is and always will be without a doubt, THE greatest guitar player of all time.

[johnny-r]

His mastery and authority have amazed me since the first time I heard him play.

[GooseGumlizzard]

Can't believe i've never listened to this album until now, even though i've known about Shawn Lane for a long time. This is amazing music.

[caryverhalen]

Goose bumps and tears.... He stood alone and always will.

[stevesmith]

Shawn was a hometown hero who I had the honor to see playing here quite a few times. He is buried at Memorial Park on Poplar just off of I-40 if you are passing thru Memphis.

Titanic. Shawn Lane was on another planet. I had the beautiful opportunity to see him at a local nightclub in California. My buddy and I were standing ten feet away from him. It was unbelievable and a cherished memory.

favoloso, superbo, incredibile, immenso, unico

[CosmosArchipelago]

Powers of Ten Suite is just amazing. The latter half of this album is out of this world!

[daniellang]

Whoever the 11 thumbs down people are, I suspect when they grow up they’ll eventually get it. Shawn Lane is /was the Coltrane, Parker, Byrd of the guitar. Pure musical passion.

[gregoryrisch]

Shawn Lane was the best very best musician of his generation.
Thank you Shawn
