5.0 out of 5 starsHere's How it Works....
By R. M. Ettinger VINE VOICE on January 9, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I've found that I need patience to listen to music. For the most part, I am not drawn to radio-accessible music. Though I do not consider myself a music snob, rarely do I 'like' much on a first listen. And this is equally true of Shawn Colvin's music. I like Shawn. I like her style. I love her music - eventually.
As a whole (no pun intended), I had a hard time getting into and appreciating 'Whole New You'. MULTIPLE listens were required to get to the point where I wanted or needed to hear a song or the entire disk. Some songs easier to latch onto than others, but that's true of all her disks.
'Matter of Minutes', 'Whole New You' and 'Bound To You' have immediate appeal. But my biggest draw to the record was the unconventinal 'Another Plane Went Down'. Immediately, I found myself playing that song repeatedly. I cannot adequately describe it - but there is some hook in the song that just grabs me. I can honestly say there is only one song that has never grown on me - "Roger Wilco". Maybe it's my aversion to Edie Brickell, who co-wrote the song.
I find John Leventhal's production and arrangments to be understated and dark, but ultimately extremely fulfilling ("Bonefields", "Mr. Levon"). Parts of the disk are so low key, you almost miss the nuances of the music.
It still rates extremely high on my play-list and continues to sit in one of my players (home, car, office or portable cd player) 18 mos after it's release.
I say get it - but do not listen to it casually. It's a disk that takes effort and concentration to truly appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 starsColvin Proves A Few Small Repairs Was No Fluke
By Ron Frankl on April 16, 2001
Format: Audio CD
Shawn Colvin finally became a star with her 1996 album "A Few Small Repairs" and its hit single, "Sunny Came Home." Her breakthrough came at a point in her career when even her fans were beginning to doubt whether she would ever produce a consistently great album. After a long period working to establish herself on the folk scene and working as a backing vocalist for artists such as Suzanne Vega and Eric Andersen, Colvin released her first album, "Steady On," in 1989. Unfortunately, inconsistency was the hallmark of her recording career; she wrote some terrific songs ("I Don't Know Why" may be one of the most beautiful songs ever written), but not all her material reached that level. She was also often victimized by heavy-handed and questionable production choices that were probably beyond her control, including a poorly-conceived and executed album of her favorite songs by other songwriters called "Cover Girl"(1994). Despite her obvious vocal and songwriting talents, it began to appear that Colvin might never a record a great album.
"A Few Small Repairs" changed everything. Colvin wrote or co-wrote a solid and intelligent batch of songs that seemed far more meaningful and heartfelt than her previous output. Working closely with a sympathetic producer, the gifted musician/producer John Leventhal, Colvin's songs were, for the first time, arranged in a manner that complemented rather obscured the melodies. "Repairs" was a success on every level, and Colvin finally found a large audience.
Few notice a musician's struggle to build a career, but once you've had a hit, everyone pays attention. Wisely, Shawn Colvin took five years to record and release a follow-up to "Repairs," and it was time well-spent.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsNew Direction?
By A Customer on April 10, 2001
Format: Audio CD
I have to admit that I eagerly awaited Shawn's television debut on Jay Leno (March 27th). I sat up extra late, and suffered through an hour of lame banter just to hear Ms. Colvin's latest effort. My reaction after hearing the full, live version of "Whole New You" was something akin to "what the hell was that???" Sure, I can understand why this song makes an intriguing album title, but it is by far the weakest track on the whole CD. Shawn's TV perfomances to pump this new work have also seemed rusty and disjointed to me. I sincerely hope that she regains her form by the time the summer tour dates come around, because right now her voice seems weak and her back-up band seems out-of-sync. . . Anyway, about the rest of the album. . . forgetting the title track for a second (my advice, play it twice for yourself and then set your CD player to auto-skip), the rest of the album is worth the money, and there are some very interesting, if slightly opaque, songs to hold one's interest. Generally, I think that the musical arrangements are stronger than the lyrics (some very creditable work by John Leventhal, if a tad slick), but it is refreshing to hear Ms. Colvin begin to venture out of the purely self-referential material of her prior efforts and begin to develop her talents as a story teller. In fact, once you begin to regard this entire album as a 45-minute experimental riff into new musical and thematic material it starts to seriously grow on you. My favorite tracks right now are "A Matter of Minutes," "Bonefields," and "Mr. Levon." All in all I would rate this album a noble effort, and now that she is back in the fray we can only hope that Ms. Colvin's career has a very long and fruitful artistic "second wind."

Filled with beautifully expressive welwritten poetry. Personally, this album is the one I can emotionally relate to the most. It's identical to my own autobiographical story.
