Shawn Lane R.I.P.


Incredibly gifted guitarist dies at 40, huge loss. His playing on the Jonas Hellborg discs (acoustic and electric) put him at a very high pinnacle as a musician. It's hard to believe he won't be here to blow us away anymore. If you haven't heard him , the Hellborg/Lane/Selvaganesh-Good People disc is a good place to start. Fantastic recording, even better music.

Cpdunn,
Not sure what you meant when you wrote "music is a team effort". Are you saying that there are no great (or even musically redeeming) single instrumentalist performances or recordings? Anyway the 1994 Hellborg/Lane/Baker, Abstract Logic disc at times displays an extremely high level of musical telepathy and teamwork. I don't know how much Shawn Lane you've heard, but this recording strongly indicates that he had the team thing figured out at least 9 years ago.
