Stay Primal

Shane Speal & the Snakes

"I felt like the Snake Oil Band (aka The Snakes) got too electrified, so I told the band to only listen to Led Zeppelin III before we hit the studio," says Shane Speal. The end result is a full-throttle and mostly acoustic jug band album that grabs you by the throat from the first track. Drunken singalongs, murder ballads, touching songs about insanity...it's all here.

Cigar box guitars, cigar box mandolins, diddley bow, jug, electric washtub bass, box drums, harmonica, banjos... yeah, it's all the cool stuff!

Shane Speal - 12 Stones (2011)

Shane Speal

The 2011 solo album by the King of the Cigar Box Guitar. Recorded live in the studio. Features "Mother Leeds," Speal's murder ballad about the Jersey Devil and "Tattoo of You." Many of these songs are part of Shane Speal's Snake Oil Band live shows.

"A Shane Speal album is always a welcome release and Twelve Stones is no exception.Speals seemingly bottomless enthusiasm is in abundance throughout, as is his energy and willingness to mix things up and experiment with different styles.The result is that the listener has, quite simply, a Good Time and this, one suspects,is Speals aim.Get together,have a good time.A worthy intention in these increasingly alienated,troubled times.Pick up 12 Stones today." - Hollowbelly

Shane Speal/Jug Fusion "The Box Set Sessions" COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS

Shane Speal

Before he was "The King of the Cigar Box Guitar," Shane Speal recorded one album under the name, JUG FUSION. The album is packed full of cigar box guitars, homemade instruments, washtub basses, cheap old Japanese guitars from the 60s and something called The Feeding Tube. This was Speal's first venture into mixing jug band blues with modern rock.

This is the first time the entire sessions are made available in a high quality 320mbps sampling MP3. These recordings include SEVEN additional tracks that were not on the original release.

Shane Speal's lo-fi, self titled album remixed by Shane Speal Jr (aka Deuce). The original was weak and thin sounding. Deuce gave the mix some balls. Cigar box guitar is pushed to new levels with blues, punk, cinematic and other styles.
