"I recently discovered Shawn Mullins on Amazon.com, and I am so glad I did. I first fell in love with his voice, and then his music. After purchasing Soul's Core and loving it, I decided to get The Essential Shawn Mullins.
This is a nice, varied collection of Shawn's music. There are songs that make you want to get up and dance, such as "Shimmer" and "Everywhere I Go", and then there are the beautiful, reflective songs, such as "Joy Terrell Brown" and "Lonesome, I know you too well". Having just lost a very good friend to cancer, "Joy" really resonated with me.
I was thrilled to hear the collaboration with Elton John, "Border Song," on this CD. I think the two of them sound great together.
I highly recommend this CD for Shawn Mullins fans, both old and new. I also feel if you have never heard him before, this is a great way to begin."
