Shaboozey – The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales (CD)
Product Details
Shaboozey built his reputation bridging Black country tradition with modern outlaw sensibility, and this project pushes that vision into full narrative territory. Where his breakout work found crossover audiences, this concept album doubles down on the darker, mythological side of American roots music, a lineage running from Waylon and Willie through Blaze Foley and beyond. It's ambitious storytelling from an artist still clearly just getting started.
The Outlaw Cherie Lee is a cinematic outlaw revenge story with a tragic love at it's center.After watching her sheriff father murdered by the Bootcut Boys, Cherie Lee abandons the badge and hunts the gang down one by one. In the middle of her vengeance, she falls for one of the outlaws - not the killer, but guilty by association. He believes loving her can redeem him; she hopes loving him can quiet her darkness. They're both wrong.When the real killer resurfaces, her lover kills him in her name, proving that violence doesn't end - it evolves. In the final act, Cherie chooses blood over love, killing the man who loves her most and fully becoming what she set out to destroy.
