From Anne’s My Space tour schedule posted above.

Doug Pettibone joined Anne onstage in Malibu that night. They did an incredible version of “Shivers”. His pedal-steel was just sending waves of sound over us in the audience!

Wow, great imagery in terms of Doug’s pedal… I have some terrific memories sitting in front of Doug, his guit-arsenal, and Matchless amps as he whipped up all kinds of waves… All while helping Lucinda find her groove.

Again, not re: Anne’s new CD , but her performance on Woodsongs Radio Hour that Lafayette introduced us to.
The show from the “Old Time Radio Hour” in Lexington, KY is # 414 in their archives.

Here is the set list and some comments.
1. “As the Crow Flies” from her album Koala Motel in which Lucinda took part. There is maybe a 3 minute electric guitar riff by Anne in this one. Fantastic!
2. “Bakersfield to Saigon” on acoustic guitar followed by Anne talking about her one year sojurn in Saigon, Viet Nam playing almost nightly.
Second Set
A big surprise, Lucinda makes an announcement (audio only as she wasn’t present)-“Welcome back to Woodsongs Radio Hour, etc,”) before Anne continues.
3. “Hangman” from her album Roll. This time Anne is playing on a Lap Steel ( not to be confused with a Pedal Steel) and again a long riff by her.
The first singer on the program is pretty good too-Charlie Musselwhite.
Again, log on to the archives-select show # 414 and watch with Windows Media Player.
One problem with this is you can’t fast forward to Annes performance for a while, but be patient.
This is the best performance I’ve seen of Anne, hence my detailed intro.
I can’t wait to see her live in August here in Canada-eh
Here is the link again thanks to Lafayette.

Just a post to whet your appetite until Anne’s new CD comes out.
This record called “Ballad of an Outlaw Woman” was released just at the time Anne toured with Lucinda.
This is a review which relates to where Lucinda met Anne-A bar called “The Basement” in Nashville.
Quote
This review is from: Live: Ballad Of An Outlaw Woman (Audio CD) Available at Amazon
The liner notes relate Anne played her first Nashville show in a bar called The Basement for 10 people, one of whom was Lucinda Williams who asked Anne to go on tour with her. This set is stripped down live with just Anne & guitar. The opener “Ballad of an Outlaw Woman” haunts, “To keep yourself alive, Got to hide what you feel inside.” “My One & Only” twists with an ache and longing, just Anne & guitar, “I said goodbye to Joey & James.” The track also appears on her CD Amazing Ordinary Things. Anne churns up a storm on Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” that appeared on his Electric Ladyland album. Anne dedicates “Empty Bed Blues,” a Bessie Smith blues track, to Lucinda and then plays a mean slide, “I woke up this morning with an awful aching head; My new man gone & left me, just a woman in an empty bed.” “Since I first saw your face, I’ve been lost without a trace,” Anne wails on the acoustic “Fitzroy Blues.” This is a fine set by one of Australia’s finest imports.End Quote

P.S. Here is a 7 and 1/2 minute video again from The Basement last year featuring a new song from the upcoming CD. Anne says it’s a song about desire. I’m guessing from listening that the song is called “Hey Hey Won’t You Come Out And Play” Nice solo of Anne’s guitar work at the end.
