> Shotgun Down the Avalanche; If I Were Brave/ Shawn Colvin I spoke to Shawn Colvin before her last tour over here and she reminisced about her UK tour supporting Blue Nile. Their first album 'A Walk Across the Rooftops' had been their 'record of the road' on her first visit to the UK - playing in Suzanne Vega's band in 1987 - so she was thrilled to support them in her own right on their 1990 'Hats' tour - "For a band who so rarely play gigs", she said, "you can imagine what playing in their home town of Glasgow on the final night of the tour was like!" My goosebump-ers from these two: Downtown Lights from the Blue Nile 'Hats' album - when the guitar comes in - yikes! Polaroids (from 'Fat City') - which she started writing on a clifftop in the southern English seaside town of Southsea - when she was touring in the Richard Thompson Band. PaulC NP: The Well by Diane Zeigler (from her new one, 'Paintbrush') God - Ashara will like this - and fellow 'wanderers' - really lovely open tuning chord sequence on this track. I'm predicting that her version of Dave Carter's 'Gentle Soldier of the Soul' is going to be a big hit in the UK - seems we all need this song right now.
