She’s lean and tall and multi-talented. It begs again a closer look at the people we bring you here at Music Fog, for many of them are accomplished in more than one artistic pursuit. Take Marshall Chapman, for instance. She has a way with words. It doesn’t matter whether they are ensconced in song, or in books and newsletters. I subscribe to The Tall Girl Skinny to keep up with her travels. She reported a bit of trouble recently---heart flutters, and is now wearing a heart monitor. We wish her a speedy return to full health; and of course wealth, and wisdom. (Well, the wisdom comes easy.) It has been busy for Marshall lately, with visits to Sirius XM, and then she had a close encounter with another of our heroes, Billy Joe Shaver. Read all about it here.

I am so glad we got to sit down with Marshall in the Music Fog suite at the Americana Fest in Nashville this past September. She is classy, effortless, bewitching. This song captures a portrait of a perfect moment, a polaroid snapshot of a face in the supermarket. I have seen this kid too, haven’t you? It’s Marshall Chapman with a solo acoustic version of “Call The Lamas!” from her Mellowicious! album back in 2006.
