Michelle Shocked is asked in the song "Anchorage," "What's it like to be a [New York City] skateboard punk rocker?" Perhaps it takes a flashback like Short Sharp Shocked to fully answer the more interesting question, "How did you get there?" The album finds Shocked taking a semi-fond trip back to an East Texas childhood, and all of the defined roles, limited expectations, claustrophobia, and ultimate rebellion coming from that environment. Musically, she tackles the spectrum of rootsy folk in a warm way that shows not only a love for, but also a great deal of knowledge of the forms (producer Pete Anderson added a Nashville gloss to the recordings that shouldn't go unnoticed). The songs have a very personal, almost diary feel, but at the same time, they speak a universal language — none so poignant as the album's centerpiece, "Anchorage," a touching letter from an old friend. The cover photo, which shows Shocked restrained by police officers during a protest, indicates little about the music found within (save for the uncredited album closer, the hardcore punk work-up of "Fog Town" featuring MDC), but the music certainly reveals much about the protestor.

----------



Originally released in 1988, Short's confluence of home-grown musical styles --folk, country, rockabilly, blues, swing -- is the Texas singer-songwriter's tribute to her geo-cultural roots and, inadvertently, her own uniqueness. Be it the jazz-drenched "When I Grow Up," the somber country-folk of "L and N Don't Stop Here Anymore," the surprising punk blast "Fogtown," or the tragedy-inspired acoustic blues of "Graffiti Limbo," Shocked's prodigious natural talent makes it all sound so damn easy. And her versatile alto voice bridges the many moods and motives of the disc -- joy, pathos, anger, commentary-with aplomb. Short Sharp Shocked is pure bliss.
