Shawn Colvin tells Kyle Meredith how A Few Small Repairs accidentally became her breakthrough, powered by "Sunny Came Home" and that unforgettable Grammy moment, but also the pressure that hit right after when success finally showed up on album four. She talks about letting go of chasing hits, the weird reality of being labeled a “divorce record,” and how that freedom is exactly what made it connect. Then the conversation shifts into her later work with The Starlighter, pulling from a childhood book of lullabies that stuck with her for decades, which turns into this full-circle moment between her early musical life and raising her daughter. It’s about instinct, timing, and the strange way the songs you don’t aim at radio sometimes end up everywhere.
