She made it her mission to disseminate her favorite obscure songs, especially the work of then-unknown Shawn Colvin, who had yet to release an album. Lord vividly remembers when she first saw Colvin perform in 1988 at the Somerville Theatre. “Her songs were so good that I had to learn them,” she says. “I was just floored.
