[Lu walks on in a white Aerosmith t-shirt and sits down]
1 Can’t Let Go
2 Real Live Bleeding…
[Lu introduces the band: “Lucinda Williams & The Heartbreakers–oh, that one’s taken”–the mood is good]
3 Drunken Angel
4 Bad News Blues
[Far from Texas, Lu still can’t resist reprising the line “Don’t blame me; I voted for Willie”]
5 West memphis
6 Are You Down [Lu says she wants to stand, but isn’t helped up until a verse into the song]
[Lu thanks Jason Isbell, then seemingly tries to walk off stage]
7 You Can’t Rule Me
[She mentions Isbell AGAIN, along with thanking the crowd profusely]
8 Essence
9 Righteously
[somewhat enigmatically, Lu says “I’m being tested by a higher power”]
10 Honeybee
[perhaps to establish she knows she is in TN and not yet Alabama, Lu utters the word “Memphis” about a half dozen times, in variant pronunications: “I know how to say it”]
11 Joy
12 Take Me to the River {penned by one of Memphis’ own]So I look forward to the Alabama set, at a fest truly organized and curated by Jason Isbell. . .
That’s a solid set list. Very nice. I remember at Red Rocks that there was a moment midset that Lu appeared ready to leave the stage before she resumed. Maybe prompter issues. My son has now been delivered to college in CA, and, needless to say, the song Are You Alright is hitting harder now in the midst of my grief. I hope Lu stays with Isbell for the Seattle show on March 2.
