Shawn Kellerman: Love is Sweet - Blues Guitar

Barely a few hours after the death of blues legend Mel Brown, March 20, 2009, grief-stricken guitarist Shawn Kellerman pays wordless tribute to his musical mentor with a heart-wrenching rendition of Love is Sweet, a song written, but never recorded, by Brown.

Backed by Brown's band, The Homewreckers (Scott Urquhart, guitar, Al Richardson, bass, and Jimmy Boudreau, drums), Kellerman and pianist Julian Fauth are the opening act for Mavis Staples at The Gig theatre, a concert that Brown was originally scheduled to play.

Sorry...wasn't weeks after...only days I think...

Actually not weeks or days ... it was mere hours.

There's a reason this man seems inspired. If you know Shawn or knew Mel you would recognise this as one of Mel's guitars. Shawn was extremely inspired and motivated by Mel's encouragement and appreciation of his talent. This is a truly fitting tribute to the old legend that fostered a future legend.

i saw this live, it was incredible the amount of distress he was feeling, its too bad you can't see his facial expressions in the recording.. and weeks after his shows were effected- one on the stage of the blues festival in 'loo his patch wasn't working while playing this song, he was pissed. extremely.
