South Dakota native Shawn Colvin stormed onto the folk scene in the late ‘80s, her tender yet muscular guitar work and gift for perfectly rendering emotional fragility in her songs—sweet and romantic on “Polaroids”, vengeful and wistful on ‘90s mega hit “Sunny Came Home”—making her an instant star. And it's this sensitive, deeply insightful grasp of the messiness of humanity (brutally honest on “Shotgun Down the Avalanche”, heartwrenching on postpartum ballad “A Matter of Minutes”) that has cemented her position as a formidable creative force with decades of hits under her belt.
