In the autumn of 2004 Sean McCready entered Dansanman Studios in his hometown of London, Ontario to begin a series of recording sessions. Over the next month, and with the help of respected local musicians and producers, Sean documented nine well-crafted songs. The result was "Colour Blind", McCready's debut CD. True to its title Colour Blind holds images of shadow and light, of alienation and hope. It is at one instance introspective and at another outwardly observational. It explores personal challenge while examining the human condition.
Sean's music hints at the raw angst of 90's grunge yet is equally at home with the ease of the acoustic rock of the 1970's. Sean credits his appreciation for the open spaces of Canada as inspiration. "It allows me to find perspective not only with myself but with the world around me. With the space of this country you can be an observer while staying in one place." Also of great inspiration to Sean are the women in his life. His family has produced many talented songstresses. "The sensitive and emotional aspect of my songs is a result of these incredible women." Colour Blind reflects this marriage of the male and female character. The vocal harmony of sister Melissa McCready gives balance to edge and creates a sound with wide appeal. This combined with a spiritual understanding completes an album that sees the world beyond the colours of division.
