Andy Platts and Shawn Lee need no introduction, having each clocked up a life time of musical brownie points, whether through Andy’s career as a world renowned composer and singer/songwriter/guitarist with British soul sensations Mamas Gun or through Shawn’s esteemed work as a producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer which has placed him at the forefront of the global soul and funk community.
Ticket To Shangri-La Deluxe Edition showcases a band at the very top of their game. They have fine-tuned their potent brew of sun-kissed pop-soul, West Coast AOR and natural groove with a skill for composition and production.
On the new album, Young Gun Silver Fox forges ahead down a musical highway blessed with blue skies and positive vibrations. With a new edition of the album, the band produced a music video for “Sierra Nights.” “Sierra Nights” is a stunningly evocative, kaleidoscopic sunset of a tune whose lyrical genesis came from Andy’s lockdown reading matter.
Said Andy: “It’s one of the most favorite things I’ve done. Musically I was just trying to reach into that West Coast acoustic sound, but one of the things that sent me there was one of my lockdown reads which was Don Quixote, and it’s all there in the lyrics which are about Don Quixote and Sancho. I was just really trying to paint a picture of their friendship and their struggle set amongst this vast wilderness and each one having each other’s back. I did kind of think of me and Shawn in there as well, it’s just the two of us against the world really.”
“When he sent me that track I was almost dumbfounded,” Shawn added. “It was so instantly evocative and atmospheric that it pulled me into a world. It felt so different from anything we’d done before but I thought it was something really, really special.”
