Review of Shawn Colvin: Inside "These Four Walls" (118:00 / 59:00 / 54:00)


As a long-time, die hard Boston area Shawn Colvin fan (had the Somerville Theatre tape, was at those shows at Passim she talks about) I so enjoyed listening to this interview. Great insight to the artist and the newest album "These Four Walls" - which is a real gem, btw. I'd love to hear this show on radio or have a copy for my own personal collection.

The guest interviews and pieces of older are great supplements to the conversation. This two hours show made me feel as though I had just taken a graduate course in S.COLVIN. ( And If the show were were longer ...I'd happily keep listening. )

The visual description of the recording sessions along with the conversation among the musicians made me feel like I was a fly on the wall at the studio.

The great thing about interviews with Colvin is that it's as interesting and entertaining to hear her conversation as it is to listen to her wonderful lyrics and hear that absolutely heavenly singing voice.

I was knocked out and totally hooked on Colvin's music from the moment I heard "Steady On" and haven't been let down by her work over the many years since then.

This show would be greatly appreciated in my location (Somerville, Cambridge/Boston, MA) where she has a strong fan base.
If it ends up on radio here - I hope I know about it. I certainly wouldn't miss this show if I knew it was going to be on the air.
