Info:  
Notes: Mother Love Bone traces its lineage to the origins of the Northwest sound. The members of this band were all instrumental in the development of Seattle's rock scene, but the accessibility of this band and their music reach far beyond the Puget Sound. "This Is Shangtila" sizzles with the searing guitar of Bruce Fairweather and Stone Gossard. With the untimely passing of Mother Love Bone leader/vocalist/lyricist Andy Wood, what yu hear on their LP, Apple, is what the world of rock gets. "This Is Shangrila" walks the line between reality and a hard place...a dreamlike trance of rock solid music.
