I feel really sad about this. http://www.bardorecords.com/idx.htm http://www.gomemphis.com/mca/obituaries/article/0,1426,MCA_443_2304641,00.html http://www.noproblemhere.com/
I´ve "discovered" his work lately this year. He was one of the most brilliant electric guitar players I´ve ever heard. He had the most amazing and efortless command of the instrument I´ve ever heard. Besides he was a very intelligent and deep thinking human being. RIP Shawn.
I didn't know who Shawn Lane was until I read his obituary, and found out that he was the guitarist with Black Oak Arkansas; this band I knew. R.I.P. Mike
Mike- Lane was in an '80s version of BOA(basically vocalist Jim Dandy + younger players); a friend of mine also played keys/violin in that band with Shawn. My friend always said "There's no one else like Shawn". Check out some of Lane's material with Jonas Hellborg & Jeff Sipe or Kofi Baker(Ginger's son). Not for the faint of heart!
Man that sucks!!! Shawn Lane & Hellborg where a great team!!!! I have a old Shawn Lane solo album....he played great keyboards too!
