This album is out now. Rather than buy the whole album, I downloaded tracks # 4 & 15 from Amazon…

Got the cd two days ago and can’t get enough of it.
Lu’s vocals on “Dedicated to the one I love” have never sounded more rich and impressive..
And “When I get like this” again, very, very nice.Lu’s vocals on “Dedicated to the one I love” have never sounded more rich and impressive.
i second that. i really second that.
NPR interview with Steve Cropper -Lu get a great mention in the first couple of minutes.

I appreciate the info, and if I had it before I pre-ordered the album, likely would have done the same…
Am I ever glad I didn’t.
The whole album is such a good time…@SamishSeaMike wrote:

The whole album is such a good time…Yeah, the more I read about the album as a whole, the more I want it. I might just have to buy the CD, my previous $1.98 investment notwithstanding… đ

Another nod to Lu on the Steve Cropper project from Pop Matters.

In a series of stellar vocal performances, Lucinda Williams makes the biggest impression. Her rough voice contrasts with the â5â Royalesâ harmonies. The performance carries emotional weight without any overreaching. It doesnât hurt that sheâs joined by Dann Penn and gets background vocals from Dylan Leblanc, Lee Roy Parnell, and Kebâ Moâ. The strong showing on the marquee track makes it appropriate that she returns for the closing number, âWhen I Get Like Thisâ. Williamsâs style stays different from the Royalesâ, yet itâs a perfect blend with the R&B band backing her.
