Lu appears on Son of the Velvet Rat new CD

I don’t think this one has been discussed yet on the Friendly Forum, so here goes.
“Quote”
Son of the Velvet Rat is the latest project of Austrian singer-songwriter Georg Altziebler (voc/guit) backed up by his partner Heike Binder on vocals and various little instruments.
Georg used to be in a band called “pure laine” they had some inroads in the US during the early 90ies with support from college radio stations leading to a feature on the then legendary MTV show 120minutes.
The music burns slowly, the sound is simple and stark. There is nothing more arresting than a single note echoing against the darkness.

The new album is called Red Chamber Music and Lucinda is featured on at least the first two cuts, namely:
“Moment of Fame”
“White Patch of Canvas”
I haven’t listened to all the songs on the album yet, but our Lucinda sounds great as usual in these duets with Georg Altziebler.

Here is a link to the new album for your listening pleasure.

And here is a Lucinda quote.

““…And there’s another band from Austria of all places who we heard here and we’re trying to help them get a record deal over here and get back over here to tour. It’s a husband and wife team called Son of the Velvet Rat. He’s got this great sexy, gravelly voice. He reminds me of that a little bit – this Dylanesque thing. It’s beautiful melodies and sort of this Nick Drake, Mark Lanegan kind of thing. I freaked out when I saw them at this little place called the Hotel Cafe…””
— Lucinda Williams, Stereo Subversion interview
