As a performer, a songwriter and an instrumentalist, Shawn is known for his ability to straddle bluegrass, honky tonk, folk and roots rock. The breadth of Shawn's work can be illustrated by how many country music superstars have recorded his songs: He's written No. 1 hits for Garth Brooks ("Two Pina Coladas") and the duo Brooks & Dunn ("How Long Gone"), and his songs have been cut by everyone from George Strait and Kenny Chesney to Patty Loveless and Randy Travis. Shawn's co-write, "Burning The Honky Tonks Down" is on Alan Jackson's new album. His collaborators include historic figures like Cowboy Jack Clement, Guy Clark and Jim Lauderdale, all of whom have written with him and used him as a supporting musician. His most enthusiastic supporters include such esteemed artists as John Prine (who signed him to Oh Boy Records), Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs (both of whom have recorded his songs).

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
