Shawn Amos Thank You Shirl-ee May [A Love Story] (DualDisc)

Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild has called Shawn Amos an "American singer-songwriter of the first order." With this, his third release, Amos chronicles the career of his mother, a club singer in the 1960s. Shawn discovered his mother's professional life as Shirl-ee May only after her suicide in July 2003.

Featuring veteran heavyweights such as Ray Parker, Jr., Gregg Bissonette, and Chuck Findley, Thank You Shirl-ee May contains new songs influenced by various sounds of 1960s American music: from Brill Building pop to old school country to gospel tinged jazz.
