I never cared for his debut solo record "Powers of 10" but his more recent, world music influenced stuff with Jonas Hellborg is stellar. I saw him play his butt off at an Anaheim NAMM show some years back and was simply blown away. I like to think of myself as one who is not greatly impressed by displays of extreme technique . . . but Shawn Lane was something else. I was sorry to hear the news. BTW, I think he may have done a little looping on Michael Shrieve's "Two Doors" . . . another great disc that also features guitarist (and looper) Bill Frisell on half of the tracks. That's one I'd highly recommend to anyone interested.
