Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams
(1993)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The shear breadth and diversity of artists gathered for this benefit project, Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams, is a tribute to the affection Victoria Williams' peers had for her. It conveniently also makes for heady listening for any fan of contemporary music. The hard, brittle edges of Soul Asylum ("Summer of Drugs") and Buffalo Tom ...

One may feel a certain pity for Mercury Records when it took delivery of Michelle Shocked's third album for the label, Arkansas Traveler. Mercury had signed the feisty country-folk singer/songwriter in the wake of the hoopla surrounding her first album, The Texas Campfire Tapes, an impromptu collection recorded on a cassette player at the 1986 ...

Michelle Shocked
Michelle Shocked's natural eclecticism, long since unfettered by the commercial considerations of a record label other than her own Mighty Sound imprint, means that, on the infrequent occasions when she issues a new recording, one approaches it with no idea what it will sound like, except, of course, that it won't sound anything like her last one. ...

Short Sharp Shocked

by
Michelle Shocked
Michelle Shocked is asked in the song "Anchorage," "What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?" Perhaps it takes a flashback like Short Sharp Shocked to fully answer the more interesting question, "How did you get there?" The album finds Shocked taking a semi-fond trip back to an East Texas childhood, and all of the defined roles, limited ...

Various Artists
Lounge-A-Palooza combines several of the most irritating trends in '90s alternative rock in one convenient package. There's the kitschy cocktail revival, the smug humor of smirk-rock, and the pounding guitars of grunge. It's a collection that combines alt-rock covers by MOR pop bands -- like Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme singing Soundgarden's ...

Michelle Shocked
Corporate hellcat and musical wunderkind Michelle Shocked followed up her pivotal Short Sharp Shocked (1988) with Captain Swing (1989) -- the second entry in what she planned as a trilogy. The two albums are most definitely a study in contrasts. As the project's title suggests, she takes her message-laden selections into a Western swing and big ...

Say what you will about her, but Michelle Shocked is one musician who is obviously in it for art and not commerce, and while most folks would consider it commercial suicide to release three albums of new material on the same day and date, Shocked not only opted to do just that through her own Mighty Sound label, but even upped the ante by also ...

Described by its creator as "Short Sharp Shocked all grown up," Don't Ask, Don't Tell doesn't bear all that close a surface resemblance to Michelle Shocked's first studio album beyond the fact that it's easily her most straightforward and accessible piece of roots-influenced pop/rock since she went into the studio with Pete Anderson back in 1988. ...

Each successive Michelle Shocked album marks a departure from its predecessor, and her fifth album, Kind Hearted Woman, was true to that in more ways than one.

With a title that plays on Graham Parker's corporate-venomous song and EP Mercury Poisoning, the disc skims a dozen layers of feminist-folk-punk cream from three eclectic albums (folk-rock, swing-jazz, and Southern roots music) recorded for the label between 1988 and 1991, plus tracks previously only available on soundtracks, compilations, and ...

Rhino's Lifetime Music series continues with Intimate Portrait: Women in Rock, a collection of 16 songs performed by females artists and mainly recorded in the '80s or '90s.

Shocked made a big jump from The Texas Campfire Tapes to Short Sharp Shocked, but no one expected the direction she would take for Captain Swing. Rather than continuing as a folky singer/songwriter, she opted instead to take on western swing and big-band music, complete with horn-heavy arrangements and bright orchestration. And although the ...
