Shawn Colvin wrote "Round of Blues" with Larry Klein for Fat City, her second album, which Columbia released in October 1992. Klein produced it and he's all over the track, covering bass, organ, keyboards and percussion, while Colvin sings and plays acoustic, 12-string and electric guitar. Steuart Smith adds more electric guitar and Greg Leisz drapes pedal steel across it, giving a singer-songwriter's tune a dusky, wide-open-highway shimmer.
David Leonard mixed it and Dan Marnien engineered. Of the Fat City songs, this was the one that made Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, while "I Don't Know Why" charted on the adult contemporary side.
