SHAWN COLVIN AND STEVE EARLE
Glenside 2014 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA; March 29, 2014. Good to very good audience recording.
Singer-songwriters Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle announce a special run of tour dates together this March: “Songs and Stories, Together Onstage,” in which they share the stage for a night of song swapping, duets, storytelling, and guitar playing. These two longtime friends and mutual admirers will share music from their extensive catalogues as well as some of their favorite songs by other classic songwriters. The tour kicks off at Carnegie Library Music Hall of Homestead outside Pittsburgh on March 18, followed by stops in Bethlehem, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Durham, Nashville, Richmond, Troy, Boston, and Philadelphia.
At mcall.com, John J Moser reviewed the duo’s March 19 gig at Bethlehem, PA:
The best thing was that it seemed the two singers made each other better throughout the 18-song, hour-and-45-minute show. It was evident from the opening song, a cover of The Everly Brothers’ Wake Up Little Susie, which they attacked with enthusiasm, despite the relaxed atmosphere - the two alone on the stage with acoustic guitars, Earle in a flannel shirt and jeans, Colvin in a flowing, flowered dress. For most of the night, they alternated songs, occasionally joining with the other, but more often simply watching with the audience…
Perhaps the best of the night was when they joined for Earle’s The Galway Girl, with him on mandolin and Colvin on guitar. Earle explained they had spent St Patrick’s Day in an airport, and “We want a do-over.” It was a perfect segway into the Celtic-flavored stomp (which Earle literally did), which Earle sang full-voiced, with Colvin seemingly spurring him on. Having Colvin with him “significantly dilutes the ugly on stage,” he said…
[They] closed with the expected performance of Earle’s hit Copperhead Road. “We got to play this ‘cause we want to get the f— out of here alive,” Earle jokingly said. But it was a full and wonderful performance of a great song, the artists clearly spurring each other on.
