The Blues Got Soul is a compilation of some of the hottest soul-blues material recorded by Jean Shy and her German band The Shy Guys, which was partially, performed “live” at an open air concert in Duisburg, Germany. This classic CD is a timeless work of art, which consists of original compositions and covers performed in Jean Shy & The Shy Guys’ own unique style.

The CD includes songs that many of their fans identify Shy and her Shy Guys with, some of which have become their trademark at live concerts for years. The original composition “One Day” talks about the search of peace, love & understanding. Shy wrote it, after seeing many homeless people living in cardboard boxes, on streets in downtown Los Angeles. The Ray Charles/Joe Cocker classic “Unchain My Heart” has been a much requested song at Jean Shy concerts over the years. Their rocking version of Muddy Waters’ “Rock Me”, and last, but not least “Amazing Grace”, which is almost celebrated like a “national anthem”, has to be performed in every show.

Since the “concert” originally was not recorded for making a CD, there were no microphones set up in the audience and therefore it is hardly audible. Jean Shy sacrificed any studio editing on those songs, to keep the pure, and powerful thriving live sound, which we think “especially,” makes this CD of great quality. Jean Shy & The Shy Guys have been performing to thousands of fans at major festivals, concert halls and churches throughout Europe since the eighties, and are still excited when fans say: “Keep rockin’ on".

The CD Unchain My Heart offers a Fusion of Soul, Rock and Blues. The Live Recording was recorded at an Open Air Concert in Duisburg, Germany.

Some of the Music Critiques have mentioned in their CD Reviews that even though the CD is very good, it is sad that on this CD you can hear almost no audience participation. We happen to agree with that, but however we need to inform you that since this was not a planned CD there were no Microphones set up in the Audience. Some audience could have been added to the tracks later in the Studio, but by choice there were absolutely no changes made in the recording.

Jean Shy sacrificed any Studio editing to keep the pure and powerful thriving Live-Sound which we think does not diminish this Quality CD in any kind of way. We believe just the opposite and hope you are of the same opinion!

Amazing Grace is a wonderful collector Item for all "Traditional Gospel" Lovers. The Gospels and Spirituals on this CD take Jean Shy back to her roots to the Baptist Church in Chicago and to her first Idol in Gospel Music, the great Gospel Singer: Mahalia Jackson.

Amazing Grace includes only Titles, except for one, from the Repertoire of Mahalia Jackson and is an absolutely great CD which was produced on the request of many Fans of the Jean Shy & The Shy Guys' yearly Gospel Tours.

The European Press glorifies her with headlines like The Queen of the Night, The Roarer, Golden Throat, The Blues-Pipe, The Voice of the Lord, Black Volcano, Dynamite Stick, and many more. The Lady they are talking about is internationally acclaimed Recording-Artist/Songwriter JEAN SHY. With four Hits under her belt, Shy is a 2009 Blues Music Awards Nominee for "Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year," for the release of the Jean Shy & The Shy Guys CD "The Blues Got Soul." In 2011 the Jean Shy & Friends follow up Album "Blow Top Blues" was nominated by the Independent Music Awards for "Blues Album of the Year." Latest accomplishments include a seven page Feature in the US Magazine "Living Blues," a live performance at the 47th Montreux Jazz Festival with her longtime Band "THE SHY GUYS," and a 2015“Global Music Award” Gold Medal for “Female Vocalist” in conjunction with the re-release of the timeless Jean Shy & The Shy Guys CD “The Blues Got Soul.”

Jean Shy is a brilliant, and "one of a kind" Artist. A critique once described Jean's performance as follows: Jean Shy has the conciseness of a Tina Turner, the vivid Northern-Soul feeling of a Van Morrison, the expressiveness of an Etta James and she convinces above all with one thing "honesty."

Born in Chicago, Jean's vocal background had its beginning in Gospel Music. Elvis Presley was her first inspiration to become a professional Entertainer in commercial Music. Mahalia Jackson was her first musical Idol. Later she was also greatly influenced by Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Mathis, Harry Belafonte, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Carmen McRae, and others.

The 2010 Jean Shy & Friends CD release "Blow Top Blues" was nominated for "Blues Album of the Year" by the Independent Music Awards.

King Edward Music re-released the timeless Jean Shy & The Shy Guys CD “The Blues Got Soul” on July 31. 2015 which won a “Global Music Award” Gold Medal for “Female Vocalist.”

The latest release is the Jean Shy & The Shy Guys Album “Bluesin’ Montreux” which was recorded Live at the 47th Montreux Jazz Festival.
