in winter..
.. it's like drinking black coffee trying to stay warm and keeping the cold out. the rain falls, the wind blows. some of you even get to see snow.in autumn..
.. it's a backyard in the suburbs, and hundreds leaves covering the green grass.in summer..
.. it's a night-time thing. out on the balcony (porch) with some beers and your friends.in spring..
.. it's the hope for a brighter day.

Stories You Wouldn't Believe
A Dutch review from KindaMuzik
(This has been translated so excuse the style at times)
'Stories You Wouldn't Believe' is a very charming plate. Shinazzi has built up his third cd by a robust reputation in the Australian roots-scene. Shinazzi has a voice with a light melancholic touch. You hear something of Evan Dando in his voice. It is in short well pleasantly to listen to. The songs are colored with guitars, and a single one with a piano.
On a single song the mandolin appears. 'Stories You Wouldn't Believe' contains, as the title says perhaps already, telling songs. Shinazzi tells beautiful stories and has an amusing manner with language. In a song such as ‘Scotty Come Home', one of the stronger numbers of the cd, Sam Shinazzi sings: “Every I hear Natalie Merchant, or the 10,000 Maniacs, I think or you”. And in ‘The Drifter' he sings “I've got some music on and it's carrying me / Max Weinberg's in my ear and I' m walking to the beat”.
'Stories You Wouldn't Believe' does make me think of the work of Adam Snyder. He knows how to combine rock and roots in the same beautiful manner and also by him, you can hear in the right place ingenious texts. 'Stories You Wouldn't Believe is excellent to enjoy.
