There has been a lot of other things going on . As I alluded to in another thread, Lu was in the studio yesterday recording for the upcoming Jackson Browne tribute record—she recorded a really amazing version of The Pretender. Although all of the overdubs haven’t been put on yet I would describe it as majestic.
Also very nicely noted in another thread, the Love For Levon cd/dvd set is out with Lu’s version of Whispering Pines.
The audio version of Woody Guthrie’s book includes a solo studio version of the song House Of Earth. It is the song that Lu put the music to Woody’s words-as she did with the Hank Williams. Who else can now say they have cowritten songs with Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie? I am inquiring to see if I might be able to release the song digitally. We also just got news that they are going to put out a dvd/cd of the Kennedy Center Woody Guthrie show from last Oct. Lu played House Of Earth with Val McCallum on guitar–ironically he was there with Jackson Browne and Lu asked him to sit in. I am glad that is coming out as Lu does a lengthy spoken introduction to the song -which was a personal request of Nora Guthrie- and it is very touching and also humorous.
Things just keep on coming -in the past week alone there have four more projects that Lu has been asked to sing on. Don’t know if we’ll be able to do all of them but we’ll see.
Just got asked today for the approval to use Born To Be Loved in a new upcoming episode of True Blood. It’s supposed to air in June- hopefully this won’t go the way of the songs that were supposed to appear in Nashville. Still don’t quite know what’s going on with that.
There’s probably something I am forgetting but I think that’s all the main things that have been happening.@Lefty wrote:

Yeah, what about all those hours she wastes every day with her eyes closed? 😆
