A blast of Joy from the past-Merlefest May 2, 1999

Thought everyone might enjoy this rather long version of “Joy”
A brief review from No Depression of Lu’s performance in Wilksesboro, NC

The proceedings wound down early Sunday, with Lucinda Williams taking the mainstage late in the afternoon, joined (as she would be during her concluding Nashville dates) by Jim Lauderdale. A steady diet of touring and accolades has removed some of the drama from Williams’ set; gone was the tension, once almost a certainty, that something might break and the music could at any instant come cascading to a halt.
Instead, she offered a thoroughly professional set, filled with more than enough solos to showcase the virtuosity of her fellow musicians. A particularly extended version of “Joy” left one wishing the set had made room for more songs; but it was a bright, sunny day, and she may have been wise to settle for simply having fun.

Here’s the video. A full 11&1/2 minutes
Who in the Friendly Forum can put a name to the Hammond keyboard player ?
