“Inside Job”, is there any way you can hint to Lucinda and the band to play “Rarity” at Town Hall this week? It is a great song, and I’d love to hear it live.
Not even sure how you knew about that song. I don’t recall her ever having played it live. At least not for a long time anyway. She may have done it when her and Doug did the duo shows.
It is a great song. Almost made it on to West. Will probably be on the next record.
I don’t think there is a new band arrangement, and whether there would be time to work it up, given that the band has to learn the special guest songs every day. But not a bad idea.Another forum member sent me a bootleg from the show in Nelsonville, OH in March ’06. I’m blown away by Lucinda live and on album, but that song was unbelieveable. I went to a bunch of the shows on the East Coast this March, and shouted it out, but no luck! I’m at Town Hall each night this week, and would be THRILLED to hear it if it works out.
RARITY!!!!! PLEASE PLAY IN NYC!!!
When she was out east in March I shouted this song at least at 6 of the shows I went to. RARITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait for the next three shows, gonna be fun, RARITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inside Job, with the working title of the new album being a line from this song (which I’ve never heard, unfortunately), is it safe to assume it is on the new album?
According to setlists I compiled during the Pettibone “acoustic” tour, “Rarity” was played at least twice live, on March 12, 2006 in Ohio as someone mentioned (bootleg? bootleg?), and also on March 3 at the “Voodoo Lounge” inside Harrah’s of Kansas City. In my notes I called it a “soft” song with a Leonard Cohen allusion; it’s about the music business and I believe about a specific female singer in California who was struggling to make it. Maybe Inside Job can supplement this lore. It would appear from my notes that Lucinda hesitated before doing it live–then closed out the evening with “Disgusted” and “Down the Big Road Blues” following it. Voodoo indeed! In Ohio “Rarity” was the final song of the encore, the evening. But what’s the working title of the new record? I missed that. Does it have to do with Cohen?
Can’t remember which thread it was in, but the working title was “Little Honey”, and I can’t remember the exact line verbatim in the song, but it was something like: They call you little honey/And they sleep in your bed, I think.

Wow, Little Honey as the overall title of a record which also includes, no doubt, the song “Honeybee.” Yeah!!
you know how we all go off on tangents around here — the discussion is in the LW Records section, in the LW Self Titled Album thread, of all places…

The new record which is now tenatively titled Little Honey is scheduled to be released on 9/16. The self titled will probably be bumped until Jan/Feb.and he notes that HoneyBee will be included.
Thanks for that background on Rarity, Stoger! Sounds like a favorite for those who have heard it. 8)
