    Fat City Always Fresh

    This recording was my first introduction to Shawn Colvin several years ago. I wore out the tape my brother gave me and eventually bought the CD to replace it. The influence of early Joni Mitchel is apparent on many cuts, yet she has her own style th...at appears to have influenced other recent contemporary artists such as Sheryl Crow. This CD is a masterpiece and still my favorite out of all her other outstanding work. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Fat City

  • All Music Guide

    For her second album, Shawn Colvin took a temporary break from longtime collaborator and producer John Leventhal, teaming up instead with Larry Klein. And while the strongest songs -- "Tennessee," "Climb On (A Back That's Strong)" and "Object of My Desire" -- are Colvin/Leventhal collaborations, credit should be given to Klein, who incorporated a glossy, more dynamic production and top-notch session players for a stronger and more accessible album. In addition to turning in a strong batch of songs, Colvin shows much more diversity, tackling everything from rootsy rockers to more sensitive folk ballads with equally passionate delivery. "I Don't Know Why" (the first song she wrote) and "Round of Blues" both found considerable success in adult contemporary radio formats, adding to her growing fan base.

Biography

Shawn Colvin

Shawn Colvin is one of the bright spots of the so-called "new folk movement" that began in the late '80s. And though she grew out of the somewhat limited "woman with a guitar" school, she has managed to keep the form fresh with a diverse approach, avoiding the clichéd sentiments and all-too-often formulaic arrangements that have plagued the genre. In less than a decade... Read more
