5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, January 12, 2001

By	"mrbeanrulz" (Concord, NC) - See all my reviews

I went to the store to get Soul's Core back in December of... 97, I guess. They had several Shawn Mullins CDs, and Eggshells was the cheapest, so I got it, as well. Wow!! I have loved this album ever since. It's just... incredible. You can *feel* the music, hear everything he's thinking and feeling in his voice. My favorite are "Two Choices (My Ship)", "Joshua" (I'm writing a play based on this song, actually), "Cycle of Our Souls", "Eggshells" (my when-I'm-deppressed theme song) and "Salt Lake City 1973". The accoustic version of "Shimmer" is excellent, as well, and if you like it you should check out Jeff's Last Dance Vol. I, an album you can purchase from Shawn's independent record label's site. Anyway, if you like bluesy, folky, jazzy accoustic rock, then BUY THIS CD!!! You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD... possibly the best I've ever owned, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

Where do I begin...? Shawn Mullins is one of the best singer/songwriters I've ever heard in my entire life... I could listen to this or any of his other CD's all day long and never get tired of them. The songs on this CD give you a lot to think about and if youre anything like me... you'll never wanna take it out of your CD player! I'm extremely happy to have found Shawn Mullins earlier independent labeled records, they are above and beyond what I ever imagined poosible. the most noteable songs on this are Eggshells, Ruth & Mary, Darby's Castle (my favorite song of his), Joshua, (my 2nd favorite) and another noteable would be the accoustic version of Shimmer, this is the way it was supposed to be in the first place... (Shawn and a guitar) great CD!! I recomend it to anyone who enjoys heart felt ballads, and someone who knows that music still involves instruments...

5.0 out of 5 stars Only Shawn in concert can beat this CD!, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

Having listened to Soul's Core several times - I heard about his first concert in London - so I went to see him. During this concert he played several songs from Eggshells, and I bought a copy just on the strength of that. Shawn is only known for Soul's Core over here in England, I think the only people who know about Eggshells are the people at that concert and those who heard him live on the radio (and now all my friends!)

All I can say about this CD is wow! Shawn is truely at his best with this. Let's hope Sony/Columbia let him do another album like this.

Buy this album - and if any Sony representatives are reading this - please release this album over here in England!!!!
