Shawn Colvin August 10, 2012

Shawn Colvin is one of those rare performers, like Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, or her youthful idol Joni Mitchell, who has been able to grow up alongside her audience and mature into her role as singer and songwriter. Although she was rewarded with a Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for her 1989 debut disc, 'Steady On,' Colvin didn't reach a broad mainstream audience until eight years later, when her story of a housewife's fiery revenge, 'Sunny Came Home,' became an unlikely top ten pop single fifteen months after the album it was taken from, 'A Few Small Repairs,' was released.
