| | Kristin Diable Shelter CD Kristin Diable Discography of CDs
"SHELTER" - the long awaited first full length record from musician Kristin Diable. Features a lush array of styles and sounds ranging from backporch folk to gospel-organ soul. A significant leap forward from her previous EP "As You Were" released two years ago (at the ripe age of 20), the Shelter LP is firmly rooted in full band arrangements and sonic exploration (including string-quartet, slide guitar, organ, and very electric guitars). The record features Stephen Chopek (John Mayer, Norah Jones) and Tracy Civello (ex. Civello, Sony) as well as fellow Baton Rouge ex patriots Poor Harvey. The result is a punchier sound that's closer to rock and blues than folk ballads. "I knew I wanted it to be a great record when we went in, but I didn't know what kind of record it will be. It's not singer songwriter folksy, there's a lot of rock in this record. I mean the song, Black Plague for example, it hits you as a pretty straight ahead rock-pop song, but listen to that electric guitar riff, that's some fucking rock n' roll."'Shelter' was co-produced by Paul Johnson (Poor Harvey), Tracy Civello, and Diable, and was mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Sheryl Crow, Whites Stripes) at Masterdisk, NYC. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Biography: When Kristin Diable says she plays "roots music," she is as much describing an approach as a genre. Her stripped down brand of songwriting has been compared to that of Lucinda Williams, Neil Young and Janis Joplin. Since uprooting from her hometown, Baton Rouge, LA to relocate to Manhattan's East Village in 2003, Kristin Diable has taken on life with a truly troubadour spirit. Kristin has toured extensively, cris-crossing the country, often sleeping in the back of a mini-van with her pet Chihuahua, Cash, named for the man in black. In her time on the road, Kristin has developed not only the ability to write memorable songs, but a reason for doing so. "Music turns on something that doesn't usually get turned on. 98 percent of life is so mundane. It's 'Hi, how are you? Thanks. Yes. No. Would you like bottled or tap? Pay the bills, take out the garbage, call your mother. ' But with music, you get to a place where you are so in the moment that everyday concerns don't really matter anymore. You remember there are bigger things happening. The music is more brilliant than what we perceive on an average day."Her talents have not gone unrecognized. In February of 2004 George Stein (Jeff Buckley, Lou Reed, the B-52s) signed on as her manager. After garnering interest from multiple labels, and meeting with several major label presidents (Donny Ienner, Sony and Jason Flom, Atlantic) she decided to release Shelter (tbr October 2005) on her own independent label, Speakeasy Records. "I could have waited for a label to sign me up to put out my first full length record, but the songs were there and it was time for this to happen now. If you don't work with the musical muse, she gets fickle. It was a huge undertaking for one person to make a record from finding the musicians, booking the studio, scheduling flights, to working with the artist on the album cover, to pressing the discs. There were plenty of points where I tried to wean myself off of music entirely; exhausted by the tedious tasks to get the record in the nice-shiny-shrink-wrapped format it's in now. But I've always learned best by just doing things. I don't work well with instructions, so this really was the best possible way for me to really learn all the ins and outs of the process of making a real record. And for me to be able to do it on my own terms, and learn from my own mistakes. It's all about learning."Shelter is a departure from the solo-acoustic sound that hadcharacterized Diable's previous efforts. "I've been playing with a lot of other musicians. Before, I wrote more in a singer/songwriter vein because there was no band to play with. Working with other musicians has opened up the door to being able to write a song with more space to be Kristin Diable Shelter Songs | 1. | Long Time Coming |

When I was real young , I'd go with my Pop on Sundays mornings down to his nightclub, 'the Riverside' to sweep the floor...do a little fishin' in back on the river and I'd play with the instruments left over from the night before on the band stand,,,,. banging on the drums, turning on the electric steel guitar and making' it sound like "cats in heat", on a Hot summer night... and I remember there was a old battered and dented metal guitar ( I now figure this was a pre- war National Duolain... ) and I'd strum across the strings and the 'sound' it would make ,,,would get the hair standing on my arms... a spooky feeling would always come over me ...strange that almost 50 years later...

Shelter songs
$15.19
Some singers have distinctive voices, whether it's in the texture or tone. Shane Hines' distinction is that his voice is an instrument so powerful it just might move mountains. With a street date of October 25, Shane is back with his third album, Zoë, which will be released on Screaming Goddess Records under the moniker Shane Hines & the Trance. Zoë is the follow up to 2004's Sweet Soul Suicide. In addition to his soaring vocal ability that is akin to Angie Aparo or even Sting, Shane has a knack as a songwriter for penning melodic pop/rock that suits his vocals as well as the musicianship of his band, and deep ...
| | Bob Gatewood Finally Home CD (2002)
Shelter album
$10.15
Bob Gatewood releases latest CDCLEVELAND -- Bob Gatewood, leader and driving force for the band Calabash, has just released FINALLY HOME, his second full length CD. Gatewood and Calabash have been staples of the Northeast Ohio music scene for 15 years and have been some of the most popular entertainers at the Round House Bar on Put-in-Bay for years. Recorded at Head Room Studios in Nashville this past spring, and produced by Tom Bukovac, who has played with John Fogerty and Wynonna Judd. Gatewood was backed by a stellar lineup of musicians for the sessions, including drummer Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh, CSNY), keyboardist Mark Jordan (Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt) and bassist David Santos (Billy Joel, Elton John). In addition, on guitar was Grammy nominee Warner Bros. recording artist Will Owsley. Paul Hager, who worked on the CHARLIE'S ANGELS soundtrack, mixed the CD.I would like to tell you something about the players and engineers who helped make this recording. Basically, I wrote the songs, sang lead, played acoustic and electric guitars. My lifelong friend, Pat Surnegie and I shared writing on two of them, and Tom kicked in one of his own songs just like he did on the first cd. Tom Bukovac was in the Calabash band some years ago. He has since made quite a name for himself down in Nashville touring with and recording with some of the biggest names in the business. He offered to produce my latest batch of songs and invited me down there to start to work on it. Tom is the best guitar player I have ever heard, and he's oh so cute on the Letterman Show and Leno. He can do it all in the studio on any instrument with a flair for creative genius and technichal ability to back it up. He has always been good to me, but this time he surpassed all of my expectations and hopes. The band he assembled to record the album was no less than stellar. If you counted the million selling albums these guys have played on, you would be around a hundred!On drums we had the legendary Joe Vitale. Joe became a rock ...
