“Shine” strives to bridge the stylistic gaps between early 70s blues, rock and country, blending the sounds of acts like The Allman Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, The Band and Little Feat.
Featuring Albert Castiglia on the song, the goal was achieved with his powerful vocal tone and anthemic blues-rocking guitar aesthetic.
Lyrically, it’s a classic love affair between a woman and a man—but with a twist. Stereotypical roles of “Love” are reversed, as the woman is merely looking for a little side action, but her quixotic lover is searching for a deeper spiritual meaning.
Mutual emotional ground is briefly met, but ultimately here commonality is absent, even insignificant in this new age of sexual revolution, and old habits die hard.
