What a great show on Sunday night. I couldn’t have imagined both Buddy Miller *and* Jason Isbell would join Lu on stage, they’re two of my favorite players. I saw that Amanda was playing the Grand Ole Opry a few days before, so I wasn’t completely shocked – and at one point there was some movement on the side of the stage and I told my g.f. that it kinda looked like Jason. What a nice surprise and a festive way to close out the tour.

My favorite crowd reaction was someone that yelled: “Best Mother’s Day EVER!!!”

I was lucky enough to see both Chicago/City Winery shows (Sept ’15) as well as the Old Town School of Folk shows (Apr ’16) and this Ryman show. I would LOVE to see a download series or commercial CD release of some of these live shows. Or a compilation – but *something*. Just too much good music to not document this phase of Lu’s career. Buick 6 is sounding so good backing Lu, such a great time to see her live. Hopefully that’s something that can happen.
