With the wit, lyricism, and empathy that have characterized Colvin's performances and inspired audiences worldwide, Diamond in the Rough looks back over a rich lifetime of highs and lows with stunning insight and candor. It is also an unflinching account of Colvin's struggles-weathering addiction and depression, learning to care for not only herself but also a child-and, always, channeling those experiences into song.
She worked with multiple Grammy-winning songwriter and producer John Leventhal to compose the song. It is the second single from Colvin’s fourth album, which she titled A Few Small Repairs.
#SUNNY CAME HOME SINGER FULL#
Diamond in the Rough captures her years of touring cross-country in bands and vans full of guys falling in and out of love meeting heroes like Joni Mitchell searching for her musical identity and making friendships that would last a lifetime. Sunny Came Home was released on June 24th, 1997.
Humorous and deeply honest, Colvin relates the experiences behind her best-loved songs in vivid color in this memoir. Diamond in the Rough recounts this passionate musician's coming-of-age, from the prairies of South Dakota to the dark smoky bars in Austin, Texas, to the world stage at the Grammys. Like the troubled would-be arsonist and survivor of her smash hit "Sunny Came Home," Colvin knows a thing or two about heartache-and setting fires. In 1997, two decades after she started, she got her big break. After learning to play guitar at the age of ten, Shawn Colvin was determined to make a life in music-a decision that would send a small-town girl out on the open road for good.
