Just heard: Shawn James & The Shapeshifters
Soulful, gritty, funky and blues fire. A good friend of mine passed the single "Hellhound" under my nose and it convinced me that I want to compile a "soundtrack" for the Alexander Smith trilogy of books I'm writing. Shawn James of Texas would have to be the artist that anchored the album. Check out this stripped down version of "Hellhound" on YouTube. If you've read "Blood for the Sun," you'll definitely get the connection. (If you're wondering about the sequel, chapter one is right on this here site.)
Howlin’ at the moon
My blood runs hot and outta tune
Been at it all night long
My prey the buzz now long gone
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
Hellhounds at my heels
Sharpen my wit, a raw deal
Don't matter anyhow
My pace just wears them down
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
Don't you get me wrong
I know I don't belong
I'm just howlin’ at the moon
My curse will carry through
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
