Renegade blues-rocker Big Shanty’s sonic rain of acid guitars and synth beats blasted across the Internet, Satellite and College radio in ’07 with his anti-war song "Killing Fields" and went number-one for five-weeks on "Blues Critic" singles chart. Big Shanty’s CD “Ride With The Wind” stayed top-ten in their album chart for five-months, his single was nominated as "Best Blues Song and Shanty was nominated as "Best New Artist". Topping the list of amazing kudos for the year, "Real Blues Magazine" selected the Big Shanty album as the "1 Blues Album of 2007".
Big Shanty mixes Retro with Techno, Delta Blues and Club Beats to energize his taken-from-life stories, on “Ride With The Wind” Big Shanty delivered a brilliant collection of songs and media reviewers compared him to the White Stripes, Lonnie Brooks, Jimi Hendrix, Root Boy Slim and Neil Young.
Big Shanty aspired to measure up to the high praise on his new album and invited some great friends like, legendary Godfather of Jam-Bands, Col. Bruce Hampton; The amazing blues guitar diva, Liz Melendez; Cutting edge guitarists, Spencer Kirkpatrick and Chris Blackwell; The driving basses of Dustin Sargent and Kevin Scott; The Roadhouse 88's of Rick Phillips and the unrivaled drums of Scott Robertson… these self-styled bohemians of rock’n blues gathered at Atlanta’s STR studios in late 2008 and came out with a swarm of raw, rocking, high-octane Blues on the new album, "Big Shanty Sold Out".
