Details:
FULL CIRCLE was recorded as a fun DEMO in 1995 at the great Mind's Eye Digital (Scottsdale, AZ) by a young but stellar recording engineer Larry Elyea (Bionic Jive, EMINEM). This CD features the sassy vocal work of 3-time Gold Record Awardee Leah Santos (Ted Nugent, Ambrosia, Vixen) fronting the local Phoenix-area blues-rocking horn band, Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns. Also featured is Ted Kowal's first vocal recording of his blues-rocking anthem, "If You Got The Blues, Girl", which has gone on to be a live performance favorite and trademark tune for the band today.

Ted Kowal, the founder, manager and bassist of Cold Shott, restructured his ever-popular blues band in 1994, just prior to this recording; the band evolved to feature a lively female vocal with a rocking, funk 'n soul sound in the vein of Delbert McClinton......that even includes a touch of jazz! Featured are five original tunes written by the band members and a great opening tune, "Keep On Keepin' On", by Bobby Hart.

This CD helped Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns capture the attention of a wider local and regional audience and set the stage for the great line-up today. This collection started the band on it's way to being a top-draw live act in Arizona as well as the Soutwestern United States. Note that the cover art is a 'spin' on the Arizona flag; reminding the listener that this is truly a part of the soulful Arizona Sound. FULL CIRCLE precedes the well-received follow-up live CD, "If You Got The Blues..." that has been played and broadcast all around the world since its release in 2003!!
