Free Music Review: I am forever in love with Shawn
Hit: 5 Stars
Daer Shawn,
My family met you in Jacksonville, Oregom. I am quite sure that you do not remember me or my wife and kids.
Your songs have inspired me to go on in life and do my best, regardless of the politics, both local and national.
Thanks for agreeing that Hilary Clinton is a bold faced liar and unworthy to even be a homestead senator in New York state.
There is an amazingly large group of American physicians that are planning to move to New Zealand if she is elected and when her destruction of the finest healthcare system in the world is destroyed.
Who can explain New York or for that matter even the east coast as a HOLE(pun intended).
The sooner she has a heart to heart with the lord, Jesus Christ(or Teddy Rooseveldt), the better.
I hope and pray that your daughter is happy wholesome and loving.
Warm regards,
Dr. Jim Morrow
P.S. Whenever your songs are on the radio or CD, my children smile, laugh in delight and want to know when they will see you again. Your concert in Jacksonville, Oregon left them with VERY happy memories of you
P.S.S. If Clinton is elected, plan on learning Farsi, Arabc, chinese, etc. in order to communicate with your new 3rd world "physician."
P.S.S.S.
You and your family are always welcome to stay with us, very quiet and peacefully for as long as you like.
P.s.s.s.s. My Granfather, Wiliam Sherman Morrow, earned his citizenship by commiting to be an indentured servant for 7 years, after those 7 years, he earned enough money to bring his family, including my DAD, to America to earn a decent living and, yes, he is the famous publisher. Very few people know of his initial plight to the states to become successful.
Free Music Review: Like a fine wine, Shawn just keeps getting better!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Shawn's music since her break out hit Sunny Came Home. Although I really love that song, there are also some other songs that are even better than Sunny Came Home in my opinion. These Four Walls showcases Shawn's remarkable voice and songwriting ability. Tuching, poignant and bittersweet, this album has a song for every mood. The title track is beautifully sung, and the guitar is just haunting. Venetian Blue, The Bird, I'm Gone and Let It Slide are powerful emotional testaments to the power of Shawn's songwriting and John Leventhal's producing prowess. Shawn's cover of the BG's Words and Paul Westerberg's Even Here We Are showcase another side of Colvin's talents. She interprets covers like no other! My favorite tracks are Tough Kid, The Bird, Cinnamon Road, These Four Walls and Let It Slide. Patty Griffin and Marc Cohn's contributions to Cinnamon Road are amazing, and Teddy Thompson (son of singer/songwriter Richard Thompson) make Let It Slide wonderfully expressive. If you are a fan or just a newcomer, you won't be disapponted! I have listened to this album numerous times and find something different each time. Definitely worth the wait!Free Music Review: I love this new CD from Shawn Colvin
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a very good new album from Shawn Colvin. Fill Me Up and So Good To See You are two very good songs about the need for warmth and friendship in lonely times. Shawn sounds great vocally, and she plays the guitar so effortlessly. The Bird is another standout track here. This is a beautiful song about the need to get away from the stress of daily life and to reflect on what is important. The title track is about how a person can feel so trapped and frustrated in life that death seems like the only option. This song is very powerful. Tuff Kid is another excellent song about survival and overcoming obstacles in life. The violin playing gives this song a very upbeat quality. Shawn covers a Bee Gee classic entitled Words on this album. Her rendition of this song is very romantic. Let It Slide is an excellent song. It is about how no relationship is smooth and perfect. Summer Dress is a bittersweet song about saying good bye to a friend. I'm Gone is a highlight track with a nice blues sound. This is an excellent CD from Shawn Colvin filled with moving songs.Free Music Review: It's folk music. Ok?
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are a Shawn Colvin fan this is a must have CD. The first track, Fill Me Up, has a tempo reminicent of Sunny came home. I like the dark feel to the title track and Summer Dress. Cinnamon Road is another song that is well done.
Shawn's music just feels right to me. She has a folk rock style with a little edge. If you have Born in the USA stuck back in your collection somewhere pull it out and listen to My Hometown. Shawn's songs are like that. They are about life and the truth. She tells it like it is,(Let it slide, Tuff kid). The whole album takes me back to some of the good artists of the 70's. She does a good cover of the Bee Gees Words. Other songs remind me of artists like Carole King, James Taylor, and even Bob Seeger. If you like folk and want to sit back, have a beer, and listen to what a great artist has to say you wont be disappointed. If you like Brittney or Shania and want your music sugar coated keep looking...
Free Music Review: Shawn Colvin Does Justice to her Talent in the Tradition of Joni Mitchell
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album with few expectations. Previously I liked Shawn Colvin in doses. I have an appreciation for a few cuts off "A Few Small Repairs." On days that call for hot chocolate, a pile of blankets, and a good book I could listen to "Shotgun Down the Avalanche" until the track wears out. Her cover of "Everything She Does is Magic" is a guilty pleasure.
With this album Colvin has risen to the occasion. It has seeped into the corners of my soul and moved me. It reflects a level of craftsmanship that is rare. Her lyrics are smart, self aware, and honest in a way that is all her own while being reminiscent of Joni Mitchell at her best. This is a must have especially for songs such as "These Four Walls", "Venetian Blue", I'm Gone", "Summer Dress", "So Good to See You", and "The Bird." It inspires me that Colvin has done justice to her talent and that we all get to enjoy the result.
