A strong driving groove based acoustic/vocal track. Each of the songs by Shane O'Brien tells a story within their lyrics and music, this one is another prime example. Shane’s vocals are supported with him playing a Martin D28 acoustic guitar throughout the whole track, with an additional track using a 1962 Stratocaster coming into the final verse. The song is sung from the perspective of a friend who is a witness to the subject this piece. The story revolves around recognizing a habit an individual has, and it’s not a good type. Particularly, one that is so very real and how it's effects have caused noticeable changes in every part of the friend’s life.

Special Note from the Author:
Beware of the slight of language chatter at the very beginning as an introduction segment. Actually it was a mood setting rant, since this was written as it was recorded and that inspiration flowed into imagining the visuals needed to create this story line.
The story line of the vocals describe an old school western posse chasing down a violent outlaw past the Mexican Border. Wanted Dead or Alive. Some familiar American Classic Cowboys are involved in this posse of great men...

The Posse by Shane O'Brien

This little Blues Rock tune features a real clean with no effects lead guitar on top of a boogy groove from the band. Vocally you'll notice this singer is a little out there as he mixes up the game of chess, the game of checkers and the game of love all in one song. Actually all ongoing throughout, in most every sentence. "I traveled half the board and checkmate right on you so you gotta king me, king me baby I got a rook right on you"...
