Description
Put aside any and all preconceptions you have about SHURMAN. The Austin, Texas-based quartet's latest offering, East Side Of Love, finds them connecting with each other and their audiences on a completely different level. The album retains their trademark combination of high-energy roots rock and country soul, while possessing an expanded dimension due to the mixture of harrowing pain and unmatched creative joy they experienced since we last heard from them. Shurman - Aaron Beavers (guitar, vocals) Mike Therieau (bass, vocals), Harley Husbands (lead guitar) and Clint Short (drums) - produced East Side Of Love as a result of loyal fan-funded support coming from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean; the band's European fan base remains large and enthusiastic. But that's not the main reason for the length of time between albums. Beavers, the band's founder, experienced dramatic changes in his life and needed to time to process them. The story of loss, and eventual reemergence as a stronger, more confident, just plain better songwriter and musician, is evident in these songs in a multitude of ways. East Side Of Love is a powerful work comprised of 11 heartfelt songs telling the story of losing a relationship, while actually getting back a band. From the anthemic set-opening title track, to the gritty soul of "You Don't Have To Love Me," through the heart-wrenching, acoustic ballad "I Don't Know Why," to the bright and hopeful album closer "Time To Say Goodbye," it bears traces of Shuman's reputation for relentless live energy and yet comes across as clear-eyed and genuine as anything in the band's 15- year career. Shurman's previous label releases on Vanguard and Universal Republic were admittedly geared towards Friday and Saturday night, but East Side Of Love sounds like a record made for Sunday afternoon. It takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of life while reminding you that you can still find redemption no matter where you have travelled.
