"I first heard of Shane when I read a short article in Guitar Player magazine. The article's description of his New Orleans funk style piqued my interest, so I took a chance and ordered the CD from amazon.com. I was not disappointed. This CD drips with funk. Shane is a very talented guitar player AND song writer (he wrote eight of the eleven tunes on this primarily instrumental album). His guitar playing, while being very funky, borrows heavily from the fusion masters, but his playing still sounds fresh and original. He can shred, too, but only when the song calls for it. Very tasty stuff. The musicians on the CD are excellent, too.This is somewhat off topic but the CD liner notes said to check out his "New Orleans Funk Guitar Styles" instructional Book/CD. After listening to his CD, I ordered the CD/book. Great stuff. One of the best guitar instructional books I've ever purchased. Lots of examples that I was able to start using right away. All you guitarists out there check him out. (But non-guitarist types, like my wife, dig him, too.)"

An unfound treasure if ever there was one...

"Shane is a phenomenal player, and shows here that he also knows his way around composition and the studio. Theriot does phenomenal stuff with the Neville Bros., but doesn't even hint at what he's done on this disc. This is a "buy one disc this year" CD."

My very favorite guitar CD period.
