A Bluesy, Rootsy Gem
author: Dave G.
For fans of earthy rhythm and blues, Marin County-based singer/songwriter Shana Morrison’s new, self-issued disc That’s Who I Am (Belfast Violet) comes highly recommended. As on 2002’s melodic, inventive and under-appreciated Seven Wishes (Vanguard), there is still plenty of fine songcraft here, but with a leaner, sparer edge that seems to lift Morrison out of the sterile studio and place her back into the roadhouse that’s her true milieu. The classic sound, drawing just a little paternal inspiration from daddy Van, ranges from sweet soul grooves of “WoWoWo” and “Strong on You” (tunes that one could imagine enjoying a second life in covers decades from now) to the rafter-rocking vocal pyrotechnics of “You Don’t Own Me,” the dirty whitegirl blues screamer “Simple” (featuring the stellar guitar work of Mike Schermer) and the streamlined garage-rock of “Drive.”
Shana Morrison is a gem well worth discovering. That’s Who I Am goes down with the smooth flavor and the playful kick of a fine sipping whiskey, and is every bit as intoxicating. It needs no chaser.

Shana Knocks the Socks off Top 40 Artists
author: Kimrose
Shana's vocals and artistic genius on this album clearly deserve recognition, she has humbly become a worlwide legend in the making. The songs on this cd cut to the core; in many ways. I truly hope she keeps cranking out the tunes. I am lucky enough to live in San Francisco Bay Area and in the past few years have seen her perform live mulitple times. AWESOME to hear in person. Go see Shana live if you can! Favorite song on this album: DRIVE! (Chris Collins rocks it on the guitar!)
