Michelle Shocked (born Karen Michelle Johnston; February 24, 1962) is an American singer-songwriter. Shocked was born Karen Michelle Johnston on February 24, 1962, in Dallas, Texas, at the Baylor University Medical Center. Her stepfather was in the US Army and the family moved from base to base, eventually settling in Gilmer, Texas. Her mother was Mormon and she was raised in that faith. Her mother had her committed to a psychiatric hospital for a time during years of drug abuse

Michelle Shocked made the leap from the lo-fi approach of her debut album into a fully produced setting on Short Sharp Shocked, an excellent set that remains her best-known release. The Texas-bred singer/songwriter teams up with producer Pete Anderson (of Dwight Yoakam fame) to achieve an appealing fusion of folk and alt-country sounds, with a dash of punk tossed in. Shocked comes to grips with both old memories and new realities here - there’s a hard-won wisdom in these tracks, conveyed in Michelle’s jazz-tinged delivery and the wry humor embedded in her lyrics.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Michelle Shocked Format: Vinyl. Michelle Shocked's seminal album, bested only by her brilliant Captain Swing-it's the perfect introduction to her work; if you like her style, you'll quickly be hooked. Shocked is one of our most underrated songwriters, and deserves greater success than she has enjoyed.
