Michelle Shocked – Michelle Shocked is a two-time Grammy nominee who made a big impact on the music world with a trio of acclaimed releases – her first three Mercury albums, Short Sharp Shocked (1988), Captain Swing (1989) and Arkansas Traveler (1992). As Rolling Stone says, “A decade before Ani DiFranco emerged as this generation’s hardcore female troubadour, Michelle Shocked escaped the hills of east Texas (via Amsterdam and San Francisco) to play her revolutionary folk blues, a music that is less about politics than it is a personal declaration of independence.” Her latest record is a celebratory live album, ToHeavenURide. In the beginning, Shocked writes, “I was moved by the power of rock ’n’ roll. And if you follow the trail from rock ’n’ roll, it always leads you back to the blues, sweet soul music and finally to the churches and gospel music.” www.michelleshocked.com |
