Shane O'Brien CDs available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/shaneobrien CD Baby Indie Music Store is the best independent music store on the web Currently available are two Cd's at Cd Baby, which is the perfect user friendly location to get your copy as Cd Downloads or select any Single from either of 2 Cd's: "The Genuine One" c2009 and "Acoustic, Raw and Real" c2010 Note: Since Shane O'Brien owns a catalog of 24 different Cd's within his music bank, a new Cd release is in the works. The fine points in design and artwork details are being refined as we speak... The expected release date from Jungle Music Productions will be announced after the New Years Eve 2012 show by Shane O'Brien and O'Briens Edge. That performance will be recorded to audio and video. Also, that show may dictate the new music made available soon. Shane has made clear that he prefers an album that contains studio and live music. So a heavy consideration to a double album release is being considered. Stay Tuned on this info. See info on the New Years Eve 2012 show at our blog obriensedge.com

When it Rains by Shane O’Brien 2016

featuring photos of Iron Erected at the Port of L A.

“When it Rains” by Shane O’Brien is the soundtrack for this video/slideshow highlighting the changing environments in the Ports of America. The Ports are heading down that road of becoming fully automated. This presentation features the “Crane Maintenance Building” 2016 which is to service the fully automated ground vehicles, which is the self contained delivery vehicle receiving cargo shipping containers from the over head cargo cranes, for delivery to a line of gantry cranes on wheels. Those Gantry Cranes load these containers to awaiting trucks, like the big rig trucks you see everywhere on the roads today, as they are making container deliveries to our big warehouse type stores. This building is where the maintenance happens for the Automated Ground Vehicles.
In the not too distant future, no persons will be needed to off load Super Sized Container Ships except the actual container crane operator and the “Lashing Gang” from the Longies in our Ports.
The song itself has nothing to do with the construction site or the crew, but, and I repeat “But”, it might have something to do with that construction crew after all…
By Golly, it is written and performed by… The Ironworker foreman in the gang erecting this building belonging to the Port of Los Angeles . “When it Rains” (c)2000 Shane O’Brien; is simply a song really enjoyed by Shane O’Brien, going way back to when it was first written by this performer in 2000. The Union Ironworkers featured in this video are from Local 433 Los Angeles, CA. The Contractor is Metro Builders and Engineers Inc. from Orange County, California

Walking A Fine Line

Get ready, for a new CD from The Genuine One this Fall 2016

“Walking a Fine Line“ by Shane O’Brien
A single track from the new CD being produced
tentatively titled “Crestline” which is targeted for
Publishing the Winter 2016. Sometime Before Christmas.

No doubt this down and dirty selection, keeps Shane closer to his  Blues influences .
A Solo Acoustic Guitar_Vocal piece in which he tells it just like it is, through his singing tone and his delivery without any ambiguity.

“Walking a fine line, and you know it’s true, ’cause every word I say to you, is true baby… you’re walking a fine line”…

A second preview we share “When It Rains” [c]2000 by Shane O’Brien is the music behind the Slide Show type photo presentation of an Iron Structure being erected in the Port of Los Angeles, Berth 142, for TraPac. It is the Crane Maintenance Building at the TraPac Container Terminal. A good way of featuring both the musical and craftsmen sides of Shane O’Brien
