Review: Lucinda Williams ruled No Depression fest with swagger, fury, presence
There was no competition at No Depression: Lucinda Williams ruled the second annual daylong music festival at Marymoor Park on Saturday. Backed by a walloping three-piece band, the 57-year-old singer-songwriter played an hourlong set of classic material with the swagger and fury of a true rock star.
Tousled, dignified, looking like a dirty-blonde middle sister to Joan Jett and Bonnie Raitt, Williams appeared to be reading lyrics to alt-country classics like “Drunken Angel” and “I Lost It” from a three-ring binder. Didn’t matter — career frontpeople from Jerry Garcia to Barack Obama have done the same, and lyrics this good demand accuracy. But when she biffed a line from “Honey Bee,” it was more endearing than annoying: “I got so excited I lost track,” she said.
Her band was lean but heavy, relying on steamroller blues guitar from newish band member Val McCallum that, during a towering “I Changed the Locks,” reached Led-Zep-ish proportions. Despite recently marrying her manager, she played songs — many from 1998’s Grammy-winning “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” — of abandonment and loss, each one masterfully constructed and performed. Her one new number, “Buttercup,” from an album she said will be released in October, was more buoyant and, ironically, less memorable.
“If there was ever a place where I was with my audience,” she said at the start of her set. “All the No Depression people together at the same time!” That sentiment, and indeed Williams’ entire set, was the quintessence of the festival, almost sold out on a gorgeous summer afternoon in Redmond.

Was Out Of Touch really played twice?
Naah–I’m just getting redundant in my dotage, Tony. It was seventh, not ninth–total of ten.
TOverby sent me this hand-written setlist that he wrote out & Lu annotated before the show to post…
