Michelle Shocked was recorded in 1986 around a campfire in Kerrville, Texas. The occasion was the Kerrville Folk Festival, and the recording device was a Sony Walkman. Despite the lackluster equipment, Shocked's spiky, playful personality comes through in spades here, as does the astonishing assuredness of her singing. I like this album tho because myself and my cousin are there on the tapes applauding and whooping at the end of many of the songs. 6 people found this helpful.
Shocked promoted her debut album at the time, but later disavowed it, upset by the Lomax comparisons and claiming it was an exploitive bootleg that Lawrence had released without gaining her consent. After gaining control of the tape, Shocked released her own expanded and pitch-corrected version in the 00s. Authorised or not, Texas Campfire stands as one of music’s unlikeliest (cult) star is born moments and DIY albums.
