Full interview with Shelly Colvin: CMT Edge
Here's a sneak peek sampling:
Your songs have a cool, distinctly 1970s California country vibe surrounding them. What artists are responsible for planting those hazy, sun-kissed seeds into your music?
I’ve got every Emmylou Harris and Byrds record you can get your hands on …Flying Burrito Brothers, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Linda Ronstadt, Karla Bonoff and Neil Young. Those writers and artists helped shape my sense of melody and lyric, without question. I’ve had the privilege to work and perform onstage with Chris Hillman [Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers], as well as Jackson Browne. I’ve also co-written songs with J.D. Souther. Those experiences with some of my heroes are my favorite musical memories to date. I’m hoping there will be an Emmylou memory to make at some point.
