Shawn Lane: The Complete 1992 "Powers of Ten" Interview

In 1992, Shawn Lane sent me an advance cassette of his upcoming debut album, Powers of Ten. This Warner Brothers release was a solo album in the truest sense. Working in his home studio, Shawn played all of the instruments, created the arrangements, and did the engineering and producing. He composed every song, except for a Beckian cover of Ray Gomez’s “West Side Boogie.” I thought this was an extraordinarily auspicious debut album, and we agreed to do a phone interview to promote its release. Our wide-ranging conversation took place on June 22, 1992.
