I'm not sure what happens to faces in the Outlaw Cafe. Sounds like a prison that's not a prison. Why does the old man help these fugitives? It's a dark Texas secret. Why?

Shea Cleveland's bristly goatee and classic pompadour are the first steps towards his making it in Nashville. The second, of course, is his tunes, but luckily the singer-songwriter has that covered as well. Boot-tapping guitar rhythms underpin stories of lost love and lessons learned. - download.com

Shea's vocal's keep getting stronger and stronger. This album has some great songs on it. Little bits and pieces of information of the inner man come out in some of the songs on this album. Ok I wanna know where's my album??

A very enjoyable song - well sung - lovely tone of voice. Well arranged. It is not my type of music but I really enjoyed it.

Bio
Shea Cleveland has a life dedicated to country music. Born in Searcy Arkansas, Merle Haggard really caught Shea's ear at only 3 years old and instantly became hooked on the records his father, Mike had. Shea grew up there performing at county fairs and local political functions thruought Central Arkansas. Making the move to Nashville in 1998, he has since written, co-written, recorded, and co-produced sevral potential hot country hits and sings them with a classic-style baritone country vocal. Shea and his top co-writer, Jodie Stoeckle from Fresno, California have been on a 5 year misson to take this music to a national level.
