Ken Shane was a singer-songwriter from New Jersey. He grew up in both North Jersey and South Jersey, but it's clear his heart remained at the Shore. This was his only full-length album and it's utterly brilliant. It's his ode to growing up in Atlantic City. His songwriting reminds me of artists like Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon. To me, this is a soundtrack for the lives of those who grow up along the Shore. You'll see yourself and your friends in the stories he sings. Sadly, Ken passed away in 2022. This album came in at #44 in my list of Top 100 Albums by Jersey Artists from 2001-2010.
