This is a song written by Shane O’Brien in 2001 and became included in the album titled “King Me Baby” c2001. The single track that began the album called “Indian John and the Heathen Psychos” is a great story telling Biker song. From the very beginning a easily recognizable character is developed and very quickly become a center piece of a group of Brothers to the rescue type of operation and resolves with a secure feeling of who he is type of description.
A solo Shane O’Brien performance with an added track where by Shane played with 2 drum stick on a Pacific Bell yellow pages phone book for a percussion sound. This was recorded on his studio which at that time was a 33 foot sailboat docked in San Pedro Marina. There was a P A that filled the salon in that sloop rig vessel and the recording had been surrounded with patron of Ports O Call dancing on the docks during this recording. A sight to behold on the Warf’s for sure. “And the Battle is won… 1% of the whole”
A little inspiration to push on came in the studio by way of a chart stat from ReverbNation. It seems that we have placed ourselves with the top 100 Los Angeles bands in the Blues genre. Oh my…
No.73 in the top 100 at ReverbNation in Blues Chart re Los Angeles Amazing, Thrilling, an Honor to be and most of all Thank You Shane O’Brien

About the song
Guest artist who visit the Jungle Studio of mine, I consider all to be very special. Field Monroe reminded me last night of how really special that is for me as well. With the help of his dear friend Anna who acted as a go between for me, Field was invited to visit my studio to simply share our musical language together. No doubt it was to be a night of all original music, some old and some new but that didn’t matter as much as what we each gave from each other to make the night fun and successful as well. Both our approach to each song was obvious regarding that our playing efforts would result in something cool added to any piece we presented to one another. Field play’s great man, I tell you what, if you find yourself in the South Bay area sometime, take a look in the Calender section of the L A Times and see if he’s gigging around town and treat yourself to a night of quality live entertainment. It’ll be worth it. Take it from me man… Thanks Anna for bringing this gentleman by. Thanks Field and please feel free to return anytime…
Regards
Shane

Show Review:
Edward Lapple
I’d like to add that my son and I were there taping this interview and it was great. You had two seasoned, accomplished musicians reaching into the depths of their experiences to share stories about backstage, after the gig and their mutual respect for the roots and the exuberance of creating music. Mike Watt’s conversational style drew Shane’s story out in a fascinating manner. I was mesmerized, because when we wrapped, I thought that we’d been going about 45 minutes, until I looked down and saw that I’d burned through three one hour loads on the camera. Time sure flies when you’re having fun. Take a listen, you are gonna enjoy it.
