Colvin is not creating a recapitulation of her songs; it is her desire to deepen and celebrate the songs that catapulted her career. Steady On, has a relevance in the fabric of modern society that has touched many artists and listeners in a 30-year span, even Colvin herself. Colvin explains, “I was 32 years old, and the dream of my life had been fulfilled,” Colvin says, “not only because I made an album but mostly because I had written or co-written every song, an accomplishment that was hard won. I was so proud. My feeling was then—and still is—that if I never made another album, Steady On would have been enough.” Her pensive revalidation of her classic songs offers an opportunity to excavate a hued depth of maturity that pays homage to the heritage of a remarkable canon of work by Colvin. That’s the short of it!
