\!h First, check columns for the desired table:
SHOW COLUMNS FROM artist;
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| artist_id | smallint(5) | NO | PRI | 0 | |
| artist_name | char(128) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
\!h Insert the row
INSERT INTO artist VALUES (7, "Barry Adamson");
-- 7 into artist_id and Barry Adamson into artist_name respectively, in that order - because that's the order the columns appear in the table
