Wednesday Night Lyrics
Villainous Company (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009
Do you believe in a miracle? Or just the things that you heard Do you believe in a lover Or just the curve of the world Another chance every morning To make sense of it all Now you can go home To nothing at all There will always be something to believe in - Shawn Colvin

... of the musical landscape. Could there possibly be any other song that would inspire versions from Shawn Colvin, Beyonce, and David Gilmour? And yet, somehow Gnarls Barkley outdid everyone else's take by repeatedly re-tooling the song themselves, coming up with a variety of variations on the original take. The Top of the Pops performance matches militaristic snares with flight crew...

... curious why I would have ever purchased it too. The answer is pretty simple though. On track six Shawn Colvin joins Ernie in singing "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon", a song I still remember all the words to and one I remember all the way back to my own childhood. The song is such an adorable song about wanting to visit the moon and realizing all the things you miss once...

... for that one. Kathleen Edwards quickly became one of my favorite artists. A worthy successor to Shawn Colvin. Earlimart channels Elliot Smith in an album designed to honor their friend. BTW – I like the Raconteurs more than the White Stripes.

Cassandra Wilson and Eliza Gilkyson
The Music Digest (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009
Armed with a knack for storytelling and cowgirl logic, Eliza Gilkyson's music evokes the spirit of Lucinda Williams, Shawn Colvin and Nanci Griffith yet spins a sound distinctly its own. Cassandra Wilson turns out hypnotic African beats meets bluesy swing on Loverly.

... set of tender songs about love and loss, sung in a pretty, plaintive voice. He was followed by Shawn Colvin , who played a quiet, soaring two hour set covering nearly her entire catalogue, including "Trouble," "Polaroids," and the Grammy Award-winning "Sunny Came Home." Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had such a blissful night out in NYC. (If you want to get a sense of...

Seattle Times (Free subscription) | 10/25/2009
She has been compared to many singer-songwriters like Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin and Bonnie Raitt, but many of her peers simply don't have Carlile's voice: her signature ability to wail, growl and scream a melody. Her material typically covers more ground; In that respect, she is a musician more like John Hiatt or even James Taylor, for whom she has opened. The singers she considers her...
