Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning

Mississippi singer-songwriter and guitarist releases the first track from his solo effort, "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning", featuring a collection of Delta blues traditional songs made during an impromptu recording session at Color Red Studios in Denver, Colorado. This first single from the upcoming album release has a dark, brooding energy that pulls from the versions made famous by Blind Willie Johnson and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Shelby's powerful voice and stripped-down arrangement of "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning" shows listeners his impressive range beyond his high-energy stage performances with The Lucky Strokes and Royal Horses.
