@FlyingHorseKnuckles Word is she's beginning work on a new album. Hooray! Not much definite yet, except she says she's "doesn't think" she'll be working with Leventhal, at least as producer.
Is it me or does she blow the first verse of this song, getting the "promise of" and "labor of" lines reversed? It's a little different every time she does the song, but always reversed. Oops!
Does this woman have to die before she attains superstardom??? I simply adore her work. No artist has her sense of phrasing, and few, her complete melding with her instrument. Please Shawn, keep writing and recording until your fingers drop off!
Shawn did an amazing version of this song on one of KGSR's (Austin TX) Broadcasts series back in the mid 90s. If anyone has a copy the single in file form, I'd greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, the CD is currently out of print.
I'm happy to report that birds talk to me now too...dogs and cats too...it's really weird...but this Austin with a hurricane coming up I-35 just in time for ACL...how weird is that? And we need the water too...
also have mastered that strumming technique...finally...all aboard for Mars...it is Mars isn't it Shawn?
My guess is that it's a .38mm Dunlop nylon pick. I use them sometimes for a really bright, smooth strumming sound like she's getting here. My own D-28 sounds very similar to this whith this combination.
Pure Shawn, no frills, just the voice, the guitar, she fills the stage just with herself. If you ever get the chance to see her perform, GO!

She's great and with that Martin guitar is even better. Love her playing and singing.
