Michelle Shocked - Arkansas Traveler - Michelle Shocked

1991 saw Michelle Shocked release Arkansas Traveler, an album conceived even before Short Sharp Shocked was recorded. Arkansas Traveler is a tribute to the traditional roots music that Shocked grew up listening to.

Crossing three continents to achieve a true authentic feel, she wrote new lyrics that sounded old, and hunted out her heroes to guest on the album.

Arkansas Traveler features the talents of Pops Staples, Doc Watson, Gatemouth Brown, Jimmie Driftwood, Taj Mahal, and Alison Krauss.
