Editorial Reviews

Product Description

'I've been doing this a long time,' declared Shawn Colvin upon the release of her 2006 Nonesuch debut, These Four Walls, 'and it's great to feel like I'm doing my best work now.' This new live solo set reconfirms that feeling. The three-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter combines material from two decades' worth of recordings and makes it all sound even more deeply insightful and compellingly up to date, recent songs like 'Fill Me Up,' the yearning opening track of These Four Walls, and the tougher, bleaker 'I'm Gone,' seem as much like old favorites now as 'Sonny Came Home,' Colvin's career-making Top 40 success, and 'Shotgun Down the Avalanche,' from her 1989 major-label debut, Steady On. Along with original songs from five studio albums, Colvin performs covers of Robbie Robertson's 'Twilight' and Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy.' With the latter, she transforms what was a funky, sing-along smash into something dark, brooding and bluesy and she performs it with utter conviction to a rapt audience. She ends on a sweeter, more hopefully romantic note with a version of Talking Heads' 'This Must Be the Place,' which she made her own years ago on the 1994 Cover Girl collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Live - with one of the best!, July 15, 2009
By K. Rehnberg (Stockholm) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This live album just like being there in the audience. I saw Shawn Colvin's live concert in Stockholm 2007, with only her and her guitar - and it was one of the best concerts I've ever experienced! This album is like re-living the concert time after time. Goosebumps all over!
Almost all her best songs are there (but not Steady On) and also some great covers like Crazy (the best cover ever...!).

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 23, 2009
I love Shawn. I've seen her live concerts and she's terrific albeit it would be nice if she had some back up, at least for a few selections. Patty Griffin is a terrific live performer and she has both acoustic and back up to great effect so I'm at a loss on this live album. Her live album from '88 was great so why does she feel the need to include the same songs she's already played live? And some of the newer songs she plays could use the accompaniment not that she isn't a strong musician but they just don't carry the energy they need to have without it. Also, a couple of the songs are a bit offkey which surprised me because they could have used other versions recorded live. It's a good listen but not as full of energy and artistically pleasing as it could have been knowing her work.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!!!, September 13, 2009
By miss biss (Menlo Park, CA) - See all my reviews
We saw these Yoshi's shows live, and the cd is almost as great as sitting in the audience. It took us back to one of the best shows ever!

she did an amazing tour with Buddy Miller and Debra Dobkin last year. It would have been great to have a recording of that. This is just Shawn and her guitar.
