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. In 1997, two decades
after she started, she got her big break. 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.
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. Humorous
and deeply honest, Colvin relates the experiences behind her
best-loved songs in vivid color in this memoir. 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. 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. 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. In its
pages, we witness the inspiring story of a woman honing her
artistry, finding her voice, and making herself whole.
