Oct 1, 2012 · Listen to this track by East Texas punk-folk singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked. It's her perhaps unlikely hit song "Anchorage" as taken from her 1988 record Short Sharp Shocked.

The song "Anchorage" from Michelle Shocked's second album, Short Sharp Shocked, takes the structure of a letter to a nearby friend in Dallas, Texas (Shocked herself resided most of her life in and around that same city). The narrator is surprised when she gets a response all the way from Anchorage, Alaska, far to the north.

Her break into U.S. national renown came with the release of her 1988 album Short Sharp Shocked on college radio rotations around the country, which was met with strong acclaim from listeners. On the crest of this independent momentum, her 1989 album Captain Swing on Mercury Records was released.
