    If invited, do you think Lu would (should) perform on Imus?

    Maybe Inside Job has a comment for us…

    Arts, Briefly
    A Different Tune for Imus

    By Jacques Steinberg; Compiled by Julie Bosman
    NY TIMES, August 10, 2008

    In the latest chapter of his comeback following the racially and sexually charged exchange that got him fired by CBS Radio and MSNBC last year, Don Imus is taking on the role of impresario. On Sept. 16 New West Records plans to release “The Imus Ranch Record,” in which 13 artists selected by Mr. Imus — including Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakum and Patty Loveless — perform cover versions of songs chosen by Mr. Imus. Ms. Loveless, for example, sings “Silver Springs,” a Stevie Nicks song. Lucinda Williams sings “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” which was made famous by Waylon Jennings. Big & Rich, however improbably, put their best spin on the Beastie Boys’ “You’ve Got to Fight for Your Right to Party.” Mr. Imus intends for the CD to benefit the Imus Ranch, which he and his wife, Deirdre, operate in New Mexico for the benefit of children with cancer and other diseases.

    Cool – thanks for the heads up, Lefty. I’ll be getting that disc for sure – good cause, too…

    P.S. Google led me to the following track list for this CD:

    1. Silver Springs — Patty Loveless
    2. Lay Down Sally — Delbert McClinton
    3. Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys — Lucinda Williams
    4. You Better Move On — Levon Helm
    5. Life Has Its Little Ups And Downs — Raul Malo
    6. I Ain’t Never — Little Richard
    7. I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore — Randy Travis
    8. You’ve Got To Fight For Your Right To Party — Big & Rich
    9. What A Difference A Day Makes — Willie Nelson
    10. Give Back The Key To My Heart — Dwight Yoakam
    11. What Happened — Bekka Bramlett
    12. Welfare Music — John Hiatt
    13. A Satisfied Mind — Vince Gill

    P.S.S. I went to Amazon.com to see if I could pre-order the CD – The physical CD wasn’t listed, but MP3 downloads are listed (but not available until Sept. 16th). Click here for the download page for Lu’s song & to hear a sample of it…

    Not worth a new thread…

    Adore him or detest him, Imus offered a quick out-shouting to Lucinda on his show this morning:
    While driving some people to his New Mexico ranch, someone complained that his radio was too loud.
    He was listening to Ms. Williams and refused to turn it down.
