Cover Girl

Interpretive folk. Colvin strips pop and rock classics down to their wooden skeletons with percussive guitar and a breathy, front-row vocal.

August 23, 1994 · Columbia

A quiet, reverent collection of musical letters that feels like a warm conversation in a dimly lit room.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transformation of a frantic Police pop hit into a slow, breathless acoustic confession on track 1.

The way the guitar strings buzz slightly during the intimate, live-feeling rendition of Dylan's track 12.

The hushed, reverent delivery of the Talking Heads' Naive Melody that strips away the synth-pop for pure emotion.

Where This Album Departs

How does Cover Girl sound next to the rest of Shawn Colvin's catalogue?

Coffee Shop saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
