Did she start doing for the past couple albums? I’d love to hear “The Kitchen Tapes” for Little Honey and West! Especially West as that was my introduction to Lucinda’s work. I did notice in the insert for West, it says, ‘….my sincere gratitude goes out to Marvin Etzioni for the kitchen tapes…’
I’d love to hear those! Hopefully someday we will!
Marvin Country is the ambitious fourth solo album by a man already revered in Americana circles – among many things, he co-founded the pioneering L.A roots rock band Lone Justice, writing some of its finest songs. The 18 songs on this double CD are variously original, traditional, tender, quirky, emotional and wise. There’s backporch country, barroom weepers, clapboard-church gospel, haunting folk, dusty blues and songs for which a genre’s not yet been named.
On some of them Marvin goes it alone; a multi-instrumentalist, he plays mandolin, mandocello, guitar, bass, piano, Mellotron, porchboard and keyboards. Others feature a distinguished cast of guests – including duets with Lucinda Williams (a heart-wrenching Lay It On The Table), Steve Earle (Ain’t No Work In Mississippi), Richard Thompson (It Don’t Cost Much), Buddy Miller (Living Like A Hobo), John Doe (The Grapes Of Wrath), Maria McKee (You Possess Me) and The Dixie Hummingbirds, who add their uplifting harmonies to You Are The Light, a reprise of the Americana classic Etzioni wrote for Lone Justice’s acclaimed 1985 debut.
Have a listen to Lucinda and Marvin from his new album Marvin Country.
Song is entitled “Lay it on the Table”
