Bold, whiskey-seeped southern rocker Christopher Shayne – well known throughout the American southwest as the former frontman of country blues-rock band Whiskey Six – released his debut solo album of dusty rock, Turning Stones, in late 2016. With influences including blues artist R.L. Burnside, the Black Crowes, country rockers Blackberry Smoke and the ultimate in country boogie, ZZ Top, Shayne has written an album that proves itself as both an exciting new “desert-country-rock” discovery and familiar ring for classic southern rock fans.
