mando Saenz all my shame

​Mando Saenz (from the album All My Shame available on Carnival Recording Company)
It has been eight years since Mando Saenz has released an album, yet the Nashville-based musician had no interest in repeating himself. His three previous efforts showcased the songs in a Folk, Country Rock light. On All My Shame, his recent release, Mando Saenz lets the sonics on the tracks stretch out. Opening the album by diving into “The Deep End” on electric guitar crunch and a thumping backbeat, the vocals of Mando Saenz float over the psychedelicized Alt Country cut. A mellow warmth is the main ingredient in the voice of Mando Saenz. It coats the words in honey, even the accusatory “Talk is Cheap’ has is bite lessened by the sweet rise and fall rhythm of Mando’s vocal delivery.  
 
During his hiatus from the making music, Mando Saenz put his songs to work as his cuts were covered by Aubrie Sellers, Lee Ann Womack, Jim Lauderdale, and Miranda Lambert. The music is a misty fog floating underneath Mando Saenz as he tells the tale of “As I Watch You Slowly Drift Away” while a heavy-handed beat steers the confessions of “The More I Need” and full-disclosure admissions of “In All My Shame”. Rock, Pop, and Folk are part of the musical components added to the natural Americana and Roots delivery of the songs. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of Roots peers Bodeans and The Gin Blossoms, Mando Saenz takes the punches on a bright melody for “Shadow Boxing” as he offers “A Cautionary Tale” on a rolling sway while All My Shame closes out with an tender acoustic take on Ronnie James Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark”.
