After a series of indie releases and growing buzz in the Atlanta music scene, Shawn Mullins’ critical and commercial breakthrough came when 1998 Soul’s Core shot him to fame on the strength of Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit, Lullaby followed by AAA/Americana No. 1 hit Beautiful Wreck from 2006’s 9th Ward Pickin’ Parlor. His song, Shimmer was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. His co-write All in My Head from 2008’s Honeydew was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom Scrubs. Mullins also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune Toes. In early 2002, he formed supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. No Blue Sky from the resulting album, is a modern day classic. For the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album, Shawn revisited the music of Soul’s Core by recording two new versions of the album. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album is stripped down solo performances, some on guitar, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full band, Soul Carnival.
