Grammy award-winner Shawn Colvin joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about falling in love with the Beatles and breaking into the music business on the latest episode of "Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
Colvin, the singer-songwriter most widely known for her number-one '90s hit "Sunny Came Home," says she grew up on "church music" and the artists her father listened to, such as the Kingston Trio and Pete Seeger. But the first record she bought with her own money was "Meet the Beatles" when she was just eight years old, after having seen the band on "The Ed Sullivan Show" ("I'm sure no one's ever mentioned that before," she jokes to Womack), and she was hooked.
