Shawn Colvin anyone?

I saw Shawn Colvin last night at the McCarter Theater in Princeton. A solo acoustic show, no opener. This is the fourth or fifth time I've seen her and each time her playing seems to mature and her voice just keeps getting better and better. She opened with The Only Living Boy In New York. A rather sad tune. At the end of it she said: "that's as cheerful as it's gonna get tonight". The rest of the rather short show was steeped in her darker, lonlier songs. It was a very intimate, beautiful, yet lonely performance. Incredible acoustics, respectful crowd and exquisite guitar work. If you've never had a chance to see her - go! If you are a fan of her's, catch one of her current shows. She is near the top of her game right now.
