    My recommendation would be the Heartless Bastards. Saw them open for her at the Ryman, and then saw them at The Exit Inn. They are very good. Any news on the Buick 6 cd showing up for sale? 🙂

    Matthew Ryan.

    I discovered him when collecting all the Lu “Guest Appearances” – she sings a duet with him (“Devastation”) on his album Concussion. I liked that album enough to get another of his, Regret Over the Wires, and I like that CD even better – very good stuff.

    P.S. I got Regret Over the Wires on eBay brand new for $4.99 + $3.00 shipping. The same seller has another one for the same “Buy It Now” price (or, you can try your luck bidding – starting bid is $0.99). If anyone is interested, here is a link.

    I like everyone’s choices out here. Lefty, it’s very doubtful that Lucinda would have your first three choices as an opening act. It would cost her too much.

    Great choice, Tony! She recently released a new album that she plays most of the instruments on.

    JJ Grey & Mofro, David Jacobs-Strain, Mike Younger, or Stoll Vaughan would be my choices. Solid performers perfectly suited for Lu as an opening act.

    Given the choice, I’d rather just have Lu play a bit longer, especially in a curfewed venue. But if we have to have an opener, Kasey Chambers did a nice job opening for Lu a number of years back.

    Charlie Louvin. Caught him at the Alabama Theater when he opened for her in Birmingham last time, and he was wonderful. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing Buick 6.

    all great replies, thanks…….BUT…….I was more interested in hearing about your local favorites, people who haven’t ever played with lucinda. people who you go to support in your local homebars.
    great choices tho……

    Oh, sorry. Local choice? For me, here in the Atlanta area, that would definitely be “Moanin'” Michelle Malone. Always a good show… 😉

    I was just going to throw Michelle Malone’s name into the hat–but it’s already been done. here here!
