Upon hearing Shawn Colvin had a new album of covers, Uncovered, her first such collection in 21 years, I looked forward to the album release with something similar to the feeling of sitting down for brunch at La Bonbonniere. That is, I knew I was going to be happy. There are few artists I have more confidence in interpreting great songs than the Austin based artist who published her memoirs Diamond in the Rough three years ago. The Rockwood Music Hall is a lovely little joint and a crowd of especially good eggs had crowded in. Please click HERE to access the full performance at WFUV along with a few questions from me…
This was the second chance I had to rub elbows with Shawn. The first time was 3 years ago. In that interview, I asked her about being the voice of Rachel Jordan on The Simpsons among other things.
