Front Poarch Sessions w/ Shawn Mullins

 After a series of indie releases and growing buzz in the Atlanta music
scene, Shawn Mullins’ critical and commercial breakthrough came when 1998 Soul’s Core shot him to fame on the
strength of Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit, “Lullaby” followed by AAA/Americana No.
1 hit “Beautiful Wreck” from 2006’s 9th
Ward Pickin’ Parlor. His song, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000
Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack.
His co-write “All in My Head” from 2008’s Honeydew
was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins also
co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002, he
formed supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. “No Blue Sky”
from the resulting album, is a modern day classic. For the 20th anniversary of
his breakthrough album, Shawn revisited the music of Soul’s Core by recording
two new versions of the album. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the
original, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs –
one album is stripped down solo performances, some on guitar, some on piano and
maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full
band, Soul Carnival.
