Craig Shields and Larry Chaney are veteran members of the Edwin McCain Band, a singer/songwriter rock outfit out of South Carolina. They played on Edwin's two Top Ten singles, "I'll Be" and "I Could Not Ask for More", and have toured with Edwin nearly non-stop for over a decade, playing to packed houses across the U.S.
Dois Gemeos was born out of a mutual love of the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Paul Desmond, Chet Baker, and Dexter Gordon. Several alumni of the Edwin McCain Band contribute to the recording, as well as jazz pianist John Salem, and Larry's son Angel. In addition, Edwin McCain's soulful singing is featured on Stevie Wonder's beautiful ballad "Visions". And throughout, Craig's sensual smoky tenor and Larry's soft and seductive nylon string and electric guitar work float effortlessly above the proceedings.

Hey, do you guys like Lambert, Hendricks & Ross? My mother introduced me to them when I was 9 years old. I really like "Gimme That Wine." I've been trying to find something on CD with that song or the album my mother had. But I don't recall its title. I'll have to call my mother to see if she remembers.
On Sunday, I'm gonna help break a world record. Go to www.kyys.com. I'm gonna have someone film it so I can post it.
