Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Shawn Colvin follows up her 2012 album "All Fall Down," with "Uncovered," a collection of 12 cover songs from Fantasy Records. On "Uncovered," Colvin tackles some unexpected choices from great songwriters, including Bruce Springsteen ("Tougher Than the Rest") and Tom Waits ("Hold On"), in her inimitable style.
This is Colvin's second studio album of covers — 1994's "Cover Girl" included gems like her rendition of Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" and The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" — both produced by Eagles guitarist Steuart Smith.
Here's the track list:
1. Tougher than the Rest (Bruce Springsteen)
2. American Tune (Paul Simon)
3. Baker Street feat. David Crosby (Gerry Rafferty)
4. Hold On (Kathleen Brenan-Tom Waits)
5. I Used To Be A King (Graham Nash)
6. Private Universe (Neil Finn)
7. Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away (Stevie Wonder)
8. Gimme A Little Sign feat. Marc Cohn (Jerry Winn-Alfred Smith-Joseph Hooven)

10. Lodi (John C. Fogerty)
11. Not A Drop of Rain (Robert Earl Keen Jr.)
12. 'Till I Get it Right (Tammy Wynette)
