Shawn Colvin’s New “Live” Album Review & Giveaway!

by Tanya on July 9, 2009

Shawn Colvin Live Cover I am a huge Shawn Colin fan and have been for as long as I can remember her debut. I have to share with you her latest CD. You will totally fall in love with it! Shawn Colvin’s new – Live album released on 6/23/09 and I have been enjoying listening to it, so much!

Nonesuch Released Shawn Colvin’s New “Live” Album on June 23, 2009
Nonesuch will release its second album by Grammy Award–winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Shawn Colvin, Live, on June 23, 2009. Recorded in 2008 during a special three night solo engagement at San Francisco’s famous jazz club Yoshi’s, Live includes 12 songs written or co-written by Colvin, as well as covers of songs by Robbie Robertson, Gnarls Barkley, and the Talking Heads. The record was co-produced by Colvin and longtime collaborator John Leventhal.

Colvin has been praised by audiences and critics for her live performances since the beginning of her career. This month, Colvin continues to tour—along with label mate Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Buddy Miller—as Three Girls and Their Buddy, scheduled into early July. Following those shows, Colvin will stay on the road, alternating solo dates in the northeast with an opening slot on Jackson Browne’s American tour. For tour dates, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

A three-time Grammy winner, Shawn Colvin has released eight albums to date, including the platinum A Few Small Repairs, which featured the hit song “Sunny Came Home.” Colvin’s songs have been included on many motion picture soundtracks and she has also made appearances in films, on television, and on the stage.

Colvin’s most recent album, These Four Walls (Nonesuch, 2006), was lauded by People magazine as “the most self-assured album of her career” and called “one for the ages” by the Washington Post. The Austin-American Statesman called it “an exquisite portrait of strength and vulnerability.” She recently signed a deal with Harper Collins Publishers to write a memoir, which will be an extension of the intimate, personal, and often hilarious stories that she weaves into her live concerts.
E-mail info@nonesuch.com by Tuesday, July 21, for your chance to win a brand-new X-Series Martin Guitar, signed by Shawn. Three runners-up will win a free, signed copy of the CD.

I love LOVE the acoustics and her beautiful tone in all of her music, but I do have to say that my favorite song on the CD is ‘Fill me up’. I love her cheery tone and I feel as if I am right there, watching her live. Truly beautiful!

You can also order the album at the Nonesuch Store by July 21 to be automatically entered to win and receive, along with MP3s of the complete album, the exclusive Nonesuch Store bonus download, “Another Long One.”
