Everything about this womans productions reeks of quality. The composition, delivery, recording and mix. Each is a pinnacle of the discipline, together they're pure genius.
Any of todays pop artists could take a page from this book and learn something.

She was fantastic, so underrated. So did I. After about an hour and a half, out comes Mary Chapin Carpenter, and the two of them go on for another 45 minutes. Amazing concert. |

Fantastically strong, yet somehow understated. Saw her with John Hiatt on that tour, too - they did a fantastic duet on a song that I didn't recognise. Do you remember what it was? |

This whole CD is incredible. I play it when I need inspiration to write - "Dead of the Night" is moody, brooding, and incredibly beautiful. After the first time I heard it, I put a notebook and a pencil next to my bed, and I wrote down all my dreams. (Boy, my subconscious is a skeery place.) I even wrote a short story called "Dead of the Night" which had nothing to do with the topic of the song. Shawn Colvin is my muse, I think.
'Scuse me - gotta go fish out my "Steady On" CD and listen to it through the headphones. I feel a story brewing...

This is the song that introduced me to Shawn! It's beautiful, melancholy, thoughtful, crisp... absolutely a PERFECT 10!  |

How old are you again? Twelve? Grow some maturity and come back when you can make an intelligent comment. Sheesh. |

One of my favourite poets, to be sure. Of course, the crystal-clear vocals, as well. Shawn's a keeper.

I've heard this is the BEST way to see SC perform. 15 years after becoming a fan, I'm still waiting for an opportunity to see her LIVE.  |
