Rock fans know Luke Paquin as the left-handed riff-slinger in the band Hot Hot Heat, but the Street & Babe Shadow, his side project with girlfriend Paige Stark, displays the guitarist’s country side. The band’s self-titled, self-released album (a digital/vinyl release) – made in Dan Horne’s Lone Palm Studio – is a slice of slacker Americana, with Paquin’s soulful singing and Horne’s work on the pedal steel teaming up for some shimmering waltzes and back-porch ruminations.
