Another in-depth interview with Lu.

Here’s an excerpt on bands covering her tunes.

Emmylou Harris has sung “Sweet Old World,” Mary Chapin Carpenter had a huge hit with your song “Passionate Kisses” and many of your songs have been covered by other artists. Do you have a particular favorite, or an obscurity that people might not know about?

Yeah there is this band called The Schramms out of Hoboken N.J. They did an incredible version of “Side of the Road” that I don’t know if a lot of people have heard. I guess that was in the early ‘90s I think. Then there’s this Canadian band called Prairie Oyster, they did a really cool version of “Price to Pay,” those are two of the more obscure ones that come to mind.

Also, another excerpt from the end of the interview.

What’s next for you after this tour?

We come home for four weeks then go out again, and continue the touring process to the end of the year then start up again at some point next year. I’m already itching to get back in the studio with some songs we didn’t cut for this album and I’ve been working on some new ones. I guess I’m an anomaly in that I’m 58 years old, newly married and more prolific.
