Shawn Colvin's new Live album, the follow-up to her 2006 Nonesuch debut, These Four Walls, is due out next week. To celebrate the event, Nonesuch has teamed up with Martin Guitar to offer a brand-new X-Series guitar, signed by Shawn; three runners-up will win a free, signed copy of the CD. All orders of the album in the Nonesuch Store placed by July 21 (including those placed prior to today) are registered to win and include, along with MP3s of the complete album, the exclusive Nonesuch Store bonus download, "Another Long One."
Recorded over three-nights at San Francisco's famous jazz club Yoshi's, Live features songs from Colvin's incredible two-decade career, including These Four Walls, as well as her take on songs by Robbie Robertson, Gnarls Barkley, and Talking Heads.
The Detroit Free Press gives the album four stars, noting in particular the "striking versions of 'Shotgun Down the Avalanche' and 'Sunny Came Home,' key songs from her catalogue." Reviewer Martin Bandyke calls it "an intimate, career-spanning solo recording" that "closes enjoyably with Colvin taking on Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' and Talking Heads' 'This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody).'"
