Shawn Mullins - Cold Black Heart live in Atlanta '06

[beegeesee]

Awesome tune :-)

[cristinaantoinette]

Absolutely my favorite of his! AMAZING!

The original studio recording is in F# flat, because we built the song around the lick that shawn played on the charanga. He didn't tune it, just played it. Everyone had to tune around him. We do it in drop D live because it's easy for shawn to play the melody around that tuning when he's playing by himself.

The video was shot in color, but due to low lighting it looked better in black and white. We filmed this one for fun as a trial for the DVD we shot the following year.

I used to be a huge Shawn Mullins fan, and kinda quit listening to him a few years back. (I'm a metalhead actually) but born and raised in Tennessee so I've always had a soft spot for bluegrass/folk music. just happened to hit a depressing state of mind and thought I'd look him back up. I've gotta say 9th Ward Pickin Parlor, (this song especially) has definitely got me back as a fan. this song is bloody amazing. listened to it like 4 times in a row when i first heard it.

I miss the good old days where there were like 30 people squeezed in upstairs at Eddie's Attic and Shawn knew most of them by name.

[rayleighskaters]

my mum and mate knows him they met him on a music crusie and got him drunk lol

[picker38]

Great tune well done ! Study carefully Di. Appears to be in "D" which makes sense for mandolin.

[hogwoman61]

OMG! I love it! This is awesome.

[LadyGalyn]

Geeze I wish they had filmed this in COLOR! My cousin Gerry plays drums for SM's,at least I can see him better in this video than in a few others,lol. LuvYa Ger!

Wow... I was told of this song and this songwriter by a new friend here on Youtube and now I am a big fan of his music and especially this song! Wow.. "Shot them graveyard Dead" They just dont make them like this anymore.. This is what makes Youtube so awesome. So others can share great music and experiences. Thanks my youtube friend.. Others if you like check out Gillian Welch if you havent already.

[rmstudio]

Sadly this is why Its so difficult for me out were I live in California.. Not many people here like country music or bluegrass or anything like this.. I think I should have been born and raised in North Carolina or Virginia the way I like my music..

[ncgator2]

hey rmstudio - he was on west coast, he does tours in CA, Ore so keep checking! He just finished up a west coast leg. If you ever decide to move to NC, you'd love it! I bet you like Dave Matthews, too (Va boy).

[rmstudio]

I swear when anything happens around here I miss it all the time! The only thing I get to see thats good out here is the "Hardly Bluegrass Festival" in Golden Gate Park. I will keep a look out for him. Thank you for the info.

[vietgangz]
