Retro Rockabilly Roots and Country Music.
Shawn Harvey is an established UK singer, songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He has a large international fan base and is well respected amongst other musicians world wide. For over a decade he has written and recorded Country, Rockabilly and Blues. Several European Rock'n'Roll bands have covered his songs live, and recently, Dutch Country singer Shannah has recorded a cover version of 'Haystack Life' from the 'In The Hills' album. Shawn was born in Plymouth, England, and grew up in a small tin-mining town in rural Cornwall to the sounds of Country, Rock'n'Roll and Blues, a love for which shines through in his music to this day. He started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 13. Shawn has developed his own distinctive style, taking bits from his early influences and adding a dose of his own personality. The result is Country Rockabilly as original as a 50's original and every bit as exciting. His live performances are electric and show his musical talent as a singer and guitarist. Years of working on the road from as early as 14 have made him a true pro and it shows at gigs. But when in the studio, Shawn's biggest talent of all shines through; the ability to write exciting, catchy songs and produce potentially chart topping tunes. Being a competent photographer and video editor, Shawn has a clear idea of his image and gets involved in the art direction of all his projects. Shawn has international chart success on the internet, repeated Top 20 chart positions, with several global No. 1's on sites such as Besonic and Soundclick, regular internet radio play and has gained a large world wide following of Country and Rockabilly lovers who enjoy his music.

Lyrics
Legend of Texas Tornado and Sheriff Kay (Lassoed With a Love Knot) ©2006 Jody Dickey / James Odle, Jr. BMI members/ Mark Ellis They called him Texas Tornado A dark and handsome desperado Robbed men of their money Made love to their honeys The gals begged him to stay But he was gone by the break of day He'd never ask for their hand He loved being a wanted man They called her Sheriff Kay A badge she proudly displayed she was hell bound on a mission To get Texas Tornado in a tight position She tracked him to a local dive And when she pulled out her 45's He melted with just one glance Tornado never stood a chance Lassoed with a Love Knot Entwined She was so hot He was out of his mind Like aged Burrbon so fine Can't stop Out of his mind Lassoed with a Love Knot They say the Tornado met his match that day Shot down by Sheriff Kay's sashay When she laid him on the ground Folks heard the screams for miles around And as all good legends go This one's no different don't you know Like all good desperados he was amazin' Went down with his boots on and his gun a blazin' (repeat chorus)
