Short Sharp Shocked was the 1988 studio debut from Michelle Shocked, released on Mercury after The Texas Campfire Tapes. Pete Anderson produced it, giving her songs a fuller setting without sanding off their rough, homespun charm.
"Anchorage" is the one that stuck, warm and rambling and conversational, the kind of song that sounds like it was written at a kitchen table. Captain Swing followed, and in 2003 Shocked's own label, Mighty Sound, remastered and reissued this one as a two-CD set.
