What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Seems like everything I pick up lately is filled with covers. At least this one is straight up about it, what with
the title. I do need to break the cycle at some point. Will be glad to get into my Dylan cd's. Of course then I'll
have to suffer through Froggie Went A Courtin', um-hmm. Back to Shawn. Third album from this midwestern girl.
Surprised she could get away with a cover album after only two releases. To be fair, a lot of these songs are not
that well known. Once you get by Sting, Dylan, and Waits, most would not know the other tracks. Those three were
decent enough takes, but of course don't touch the originals. Two singles were released with Sting's classic Every
Little Thing He Does Is Magic and One Cool Remove. The latter being my favorite. Not much there lyrically but it sure is pretty. Mary Chapin Carpenter helps out. Neither single charted and the album reached a dismal #48. It did receive a grammy nomination for Best Folk Album. Not sure who she lost out to. Nice choice of songs for this outing, but I'm sure craving some original material. Maybe the box will be kinder to me tomorrow.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Satin Sheets

Best Track - One Cool Remove

One cool remove
One cool remove
And forever let me stay
One cool remove away

One cool remove
One cool remove
See it all in a passion play
One cool remove away

One cool remove from the white sun ,
Rising like a cloud above the land .
One cool remove from the red moon ,
Falling like a hand .

One cool remove
One cool remove
And neither come nor go nor stay
One cool remove away.

One cool remove from the white sun ,
Rising like a cloud above the land .
One cool remove from the red moon ,
Falling like a hand .

One cool remove
One cool remove
And neither come nor go nor stay
One cool remove away.
