I believe the second album Shawn was doing for (and rejected by) Warner Brothers showcased a stronger exhibition of his piano playing style.

I haven't come accross any bootlegs of Shawn playing the piano but I believe his piano playing is closely linked to his style of guitar playing. For example, listen to the closing keyboard solo on 'Not Again'. The phrasing and note choice is definitely Shawn.

Of course though I want to hear more. Who doesn't?
