I believe Tom told me June 30, sean–thus coinciding with Day One of Fitzgerald’s American Music Fest near Chicago, Lu’s set.
Amazingly, I heard “Port Arthur” live in Cleveland at the tribute to Janis J quite a few years ago. She was working on it up until show time, according to all accounts. “Lafayette” was in attendance. Anyway, I have a hazy memory of Tom saying they recorded it at some point, but don’t hold me to that. Is it “finished?” Who knows?
You can find a version of “We’ve Come Too Far…” on the record Lu made with Charles Lloyd, but I agree we need it on an upcoming album.
Are we sure the song about Prine called “What Could Go Wrong” will be on the new record? Probably, but it might have been worked up only live.
2023 will be glorious for us Lu-heads, yes.
