Tell You in Earnest – CD

$16.00

Dialog ballads from Matt & Shannon Heaton.

“Tell You in Earnest delivers on all levels.” -Irish Music Magazine

Description

Matt & Shannon Heaton’s fifth duo album features well-traveled ‘dialog ballads.’ Unexpected additions include mild Thai spices (from the Thai music Shannon learned in school in Suphanburi), a whisper of reverb-drenched electric guitar (from Matt’s work with The Electric Heaters) and harmony singing and rootsy Americana rhythms (from their three years in bluegrass-haven Boulder, Colorado).

“A gentle, easygoing album that highlights the many musical talents possessed by the Heatons. Conversation is an art that is fading in our digital world, and whether you are begging for your life, or taking someone else’s, it points up the power of words between two people.” -Celtic Connections

“The Heatons have created a fusion of the various emotions that emanate from the spoken word… Executed with an ease of familiarity both in vocal and melody; Tell You in Earnest delivers on all levels.” -Irish Music Magazine
