    It could happen at some point. Elvis has been wanting to do a record with Lu also. We did invite him to come by the recording sessions for Lu’s new record. We had run into him at John Ciambotti’s memorial and he told Lu he was going to be in town when she was recording and if we needed him for anything to let him know. Once we got in the studio we asked him if he wanted to come down and play some guitar on a couple songs and he did -he cut one track with Lu and the band and overdubbed three others. He had a ball and absolutely rocked the house -it was an amazing night.

    Elvis Costello talks about Lucinda –

    And I think I’m on four tracks of the next Lucinda Williams record.

    OWH: You’re singing with her?

    EC: No, playing lead and rhythm guitar.

    OWH: You are making this up, aren’t you?
    EC: I am most certainly not, Mrs. Husband.

    I was asked to sing a harmony on a song that Lucinda contributed for this show about biting people but there was very little I could add to her performance, so I sang a very discreet line of harmony.

    My consolation was Lucinda and her husband Tom invited me down to play on a session at Capitol Studios. We cut one song live with Lu in the booth and they must have liked what I did, because they kept putting up reels of tape.

    By the end of the night, I think I must have played on half the record.
