Richard Thompson works the guitar solo, and yes, that’s Bela Fleck on banjo. Kathy from Seattle, Wa I saw Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter in concert 2 days ago and Shawn said this song was about Sunny von Bulow, if she had awakened from her coma. Both songs are about an abused wife setting fire to her house. To be honest, I hadn’t been as enamored of Steady On as the critics, but “Tennessee” forced me to re-evaluate. Staley from Dallas, Tx Ive always associated Sunny Came Home with Independence Day by Martina McBride. The first song I heard from Fat City was “Tennessee.” I was in Oxford, OH, attending a conference on teaching at Miami University, availing myself of the opportunity to listen to my go-to modern rock station, WOXY 97X, in the evenings. She’d gotten a great deal of positive buzz from her debut Steady On, and one suspects that Fat City was expected to be the launching pad for a commercially successful career. Sunny came home lyrics: by Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal Sunny came home to her favorite room Sunny sat down in the kitchen She opened a book and a box. While all but one song was written or co-written by Colvin, there’s a ton of star power contributing bits and pieces throughout the record. Those honors go to sophomore effort Fat City, which came out not longer after I began my teaching career, in the fall of 1992. ![]() It’s neither the one of hers I’ve listened to most nor like best, however. ![]() The breakthrough was welcome in these parts, even it wound up lasting for just that one hit record.Ī Few Small Repairs, the album on which “Sunny Came Home” appears, was Colvin’s fourth release. I’d been following Colvin’s career for a number of years by then, including attending an engaging concert with my future wife in June 1995, at Bogart’s in Cincinnati. It’s a good one, complete with catchy melody/chorus and a memorable bridge. Shawn Colvin is best remembered for her 1997 smash “Sunny Came Home,” which scaled the heights of various Billboard charts (#7 Hot 100, #4 Mainstream Top 40, and #1 Adult Contemporary, among others) and took home Grammy hardware for both Song and Record of the Year in 1998.
