jim, this is one of my all-time favorite albums! and
certainly colvin's finest, imho.
i love nearly every song on it.
colvin is very popular in salt lake city, my former
town, and in fact one of the most difficult black
diamond runs at snowbird ski resort is named "shotgun
down the avalanche" and she performed at the resort
when it was named. i can't remember how long ago this
was, probably about 5 years ago.
she's great live.
