    tonyg, thanks for posting. Lu and the band covering “When Doves Cry” sounds particularly intriguing. Guess I’ll have to live vicariously through those able to make the West Coast shows (and hopefully YouTube).

    Also excited about the possibility of a new album this year. IMHO, Lu is writing as good as ever. Even two years after its release, “Down Where the Spirit…” is my favorite Lu album (still listen to it at least every couple of weeks), followed by the S/T album.

    It’s kind of funny, but a couple of days ago, all of these concepts (covers, new stuff, old stuff) kind of came together. I didn’t have time to listen to a full album, so I was just picking out a few songs here and there: The Pretender, Side of the Road, Don’t Close the Door on Love, and Blessed.

    Thanks for posting that as well, Tony.

    Any of the covers mentioned (Rebel Rebel, When Doves Cry, Salt of the Earth ) would be great live. Had the privilege of hearing Lu do Salt of the Earth in Portland a few years ago and have been keeping my eye out for a reprise ever since.

    Was also surprised/disappointed that there were no Grammy nominations for GOHWY20, it was certainly deserving.
