The soulful Allen Stone is no stranger to MusicLoad.

SHEL - Stained (Music Video)

Four fabulously talented sisters named Sarah (violin), Hannah (keyboards and squeezebox), Eva (Mandolin) and Liza (Drums) make up the group known as SHEL. They all write, arrange sing and play with exceptional skill with amazing vocal harmonies that are very real without special effects or auto tuning. Their studio recordings sound much like their un-lipsynced live performances, because these girls are not manufactured or polished by producers. In my opinion, the producers the band has worked with have done little more than press the record button, which is all the band needs. They are organic, pure and real.

The girls grew up in a music family. Their father towed them along to his own gigs when they were all young. They grew up listening to a very diverse selection of music. They have so many influences including rock bands such as Jethro Tull and in this song in particular, there is a little Led Zeppelin influence. Stained reminds me of Led Zep's song titled The Battle of Evermore, which SHEL separately did a nice cover of as well. Enjoy!

SHEL wrote this about their self produced/directed video: "On what felt like the coldest day of winter, we shot this video along the Harpeth River in Franklin, TN. We've been told this trail is part of the original Natchez Trace, which is why the road is worn far below the tree roots. This same area was a camp site during the The Battle of Franklin - the bloodiest battle of Civil War and it's near an ancient Native American village now called "Old Town" that dates back to the year 900...now that's some history!"

Susan Calloway

Here is an artist with who delivers that "it" thing. She is a classically trained pianist with a strong voice and songwriting skills. This is Susan Calloway with her song Chasin' The Sun. In one take she lays down this raw track with pure passion, showing how much of the real deal she is. Enjoy!

Trixie Whitley - Need Your Love

Trixie Whitley has been featured on MusicLoad 10 times, and this is the third time we are featuring different tasty takes of her song titled Need Your Love. Call me biased, I can't help but love this girl's music. (Her song Breathe You In My Dreams is the MusicTelevision.Com Song of the Year for 2013)  And, she's cool... really really cool. Every time she plays live, she cops a slightly differently feel & groove and it always is great to listen to, no matter what. Enjoy!
