I saw Shawn Colvin in concert for the first time a couple of weeks ago when she played the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA. She had a small band with her, which luckily included Buddy Miller, a fantastic guitarist and vocalist who has released many Americana / Country albums solo and with his wife Julie Miller. Shawn recently released her first album in many years, These Four Walls. The CD is e...

This morning I thought I'd do a trio of cover posts featuring women singing songs written by men about girls in transition. Just cause, I am. After seven years of not speaking to me, my mother sent me a letter on my birthday asking to see me. I can't promise an Oprah moment.

From my Ithaca sojourn (early 20s) until that fateful Nebraska day I gave up music, this was the introspective and melancholy album and this was the song. keep a pencil and a bookI say this is how a life can lookRussian roulette, French-kissed cigaretteAnd the silence like an anvilThe things that you learn,but now all that burnsIs a candleAnd the fog melts over the night,and it softens the edge...
