Shine is Trey Anastasio's Columbia Records debut; his first collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam); and his first full-length song-driven album after Phish's last shows in 2004. Both Trey and Brendan, who play most of the album's instruments, were able to draw upon a shared set of musical references, and elements of classic rock-- catchy choruses; lean guitar solos; and brisk arrangements--course through these dozen songs.
