Title Note

The 2003 Mighty Sound edition of SHORT SHARP SHOCKED includes a bonus CD containing 22 unreleased tracks, live recordings, rare radio sessions and studio outtakes.

Personnel: Michelle Shocked (vocals, guitar); Pete Anderson (guitars, bass); Al Perkins (dobro); Byron Berline (mandolin); Banjo Jim Croce (banjo); Don Reed (fiddle); Rod Piazza (harmonica); Skip Edwards (keyboards); Christina Olson (hammered dulcimer); Domenic Genove (bass); Jeff Donavan (drums); Mike Tempo (percussion); Sophia Ramos (background vocals).

Recorded at Capitol Studio B, Hollywood, California.

Her first and best album--not including the self-released THE TEXAS CAMPFIRE TAPES--1988's SHORT SHARP SHOCKED surprised many on its release. The TEXAS CAMPFIRE TAPES was a deliberate bid for folky authenticity, right down to the poor recording quality and copious background noise, but for her major-label debut, Michelle Shocked went to Nashville to record a fairly slick folk-pop record with noted country hitmaker Pete Anderson.

Not at all unlike K.D. Lang's early albums--or Carole King's TAPESTRY, for that matter--these 11 tracks, including a mild rock version of the first album's "Fogtown" and a cover of folk great Jean Ritchie's "The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore," are unabashedly commercial. Shocked was rewarded with a minor hit single, the winsome and catchy "Anchorage," but folk purists never took her seriously again.
