Just about every young singer-songwriter has imitated Shawn Colvin musically at one time or another. This South Dakota-born folk-rocker puts herself under the microscope and then backs off and boils it all down to a set of memorable pop hooks. Shawn's recent "Live" album won a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Recording along with a rave from Thom Jurek of the All Music Guide, who called it "a delightful, intimate overview of her career." But Shawn's live shows always include some surprises and flashes of new insight as well. Shawn comes to town with "All Fall Down," her first new album of original material in six years. It was produced by Buddy Miller, and AllMusic.com says it "ranks with Colvin's most satisfying work since the '90s."
