Shelley Kings full length Kick Up Your Heels CD album opens with the storm-set Levons New Drumset, followed by the southern rock, Cindy Cashdollar lap steel infused Stormin in the South. The party starts rolling
with the King, Ball and McClinton shared lead vocals on Hurricane Party and closes out side one with the rockabilly tinged, sure to be dancehall classic One Shot At a Time featuring dual guitar duels from Marvin Dykhuis and Tony Redman.
Side two opens with the title track, Kick Up Your Heels to which the subdudes members added a little crazy, a second line snare rhythm, their rich harmonies and fun extras. Marcia Ball plays piano and John Magnie backs her on accordion, a first time musical collaboration for them. Soulville is Dinah Washington penned RnB classic redone by Shelley and band with Carolyn Wonderland adding guitar and background vocals. The final track, How Eagles Fly brings the album to a rockin close, couching patriotism without jingoistic pride into uplifting, feel-good riffs.
Always fiercely independent, King is a one woman music empire writing her own songs, producing her own records, handling her own record label, publishing company, management and booking. When not fronting her band or performing as a solo act she can be found adding vocal tracks at recording studios around Austin, fronting several side project bands or traveling as a well respected side-musician with high profile touring bands. King also serves as a board member of HOME (Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers) which strives to alleviate the suffering of local elderly musicians who may confront homelessness.
