From Shawn Colvin Press Release:

Recorded in New York and Austin, These Four Walls was produced by Colvin's longtime collaborator, John Leventhal. Of the album's thirteen tracks, nine are co-written by Colvin and Leventhal and one, "I'm Gone," is penned by Colvin herself. The album also includes two cover tunes, a practice for which Colvin is well known. These Four Walls features several guest artists: GRAMMY®Award winners Patty Griffin and Marc Cohn on "Cinnamon Road," English singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson on "Let it Slide," and renowned pedal steel player Greg Leisz on the title track.

Colvin says, "It's some of the best work John and I have ever done. I've been doing this a long time and it's great to feel like I'm doing my best work now."

A longtime critical favorite, Colvin became known worldwide with the success of 1996's platinum selling A Few Small Repairs. The number one radio single "Sunny Came Home" earned her a top ten hit and two of GRAMMY®'s highest awards: Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Colvin won her first GRAMMY® for her 1989 debut album, Steady On.

"A gifted singer-songwriter with a voice delivered straight from heaven, (Colvin) also has a quick, biting wit and a storyteller spirit. " -- The Washington Post

"(Colvin's) ambient folk reflects her wanderlust, detailed by musings on love, life and loss." -- Rolling Stone
