just read the following press release on the CMT website. no precise details on what song Lu recorded, but she always pleases on these types of projects:
Willie Pays Tribute to Fats Domino
Willie Nelson has recorded “I Hear You Knockin'” for the album, Goin’ Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino, due for a Sept. 25 release on Vanguard Records. The double-disc set will also feature Elton John (“Blueberry Hill”), Paul McCartney (“I Want to Walk You Home”) and Tom Petty (“I’m Walkin'”), as well as Robert Plant, B.B. King, Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt and many more. The project will help raise funds for musical instruments that will be donated to public schools in New Orleans, Domino’s hometown.
i must admit i’m not familiar with that tune either. i’m sure Lu’s version will be excellent, and lead me back to check out the original.
Offbeat magazine in New Orleans has a good review of the cd, which comes out later this month, with this about lu’s contribution —
“Not surprisingly, the most interesting tracks are the ones that are most transformed. Lucinda Williams’ “Honey Chile” is her at her most playful, which is also her at her most seductive. It’s a rockin’ blues version that rolls with a herky-jerky rhythm, and she sings it like she can’t wait to get her honey chile into the Airstream to jump his bones.”
