Turning Ears - A
Review
Kastle
Wasserman wrote in the L.A.Times that
Shanes solo material is impressive and in her
Los Angeles @ nite web page she
writes:
".I was delighted to make a discovery of my own. I happened upon a set by guitarist Shane Fontayne (who played with Lone Justice and Bruce Springsteen during the non-E Street years). This guy has the kind of voice youd hear in old fashioned Christmas carols and the stage presence of a confident, seasoned performer. Hes a real ear-turner!"
About The Songs
Shanes song
writing style is rooted in his upbringingEngland in the
1960s.
The material on What Nature
Intended is
melodic, sometimes lush with vocal
harmoniesat times driving and sardonic and
at other times
ethereal and romantic.
"I have learned so much from the people Ive worked with. To write honestly and to understand the role of the singers voice in regards to the song, live or recorded. What Nature Intended is self-produced and while much of the work has been solitary, I have been carried along by the support of so many. I want my life to constantly increase in beauty and I hope to accomplish that in tandem with bringing some to the lives of others." Shane Fontayne, December 2002.
Album now featured with all DJ's & four hits in the basic playlist
