Re the Hank Williams project – I’ve heard Lu’s tune and also Norah Jones’ (she performed it on Elvis Costello’s tv show – I believe it’s on youtube also…) and both were fantastic. I can’t wait for it to be released but it’s pretty much impossible to dig up any info on a release date, or any current info in general – maybe Mr. Overby can shed some light…?
And maybe you could tell us if there any discussion of Lu appearing on the Elvis show?
It is my humble opinion that as a Lu fan, if you don’t have a copy of the Gram Parsons DVD with her cover of “Song For You” then you’re really cheating yourself. It’s just absolutely beautiful (without a doubt, the best performance on the disc). If you like the song, you’ll love her version!
Lu also covers “Sleepless Night” which is very nice, and there are some other good performances, and some that have a bit of an odour – you have to fast forward through Keith Richards – but oddly, no Emmy Lou…
Hey lwj,
pm me an address and I’ll pass a copy along! After that, I’ll have two blank CDR’s left on the spool if anybody else wants one…? Mr TNT – you interested?
Hey everybody – long-time lurker, first time poster.
I’m also the guy that won the aforementioned eBay auction for the “In Touch” CD (sorry about that Mr. tntracy…). I can confirm that the version of “Blue” heard on that You Tube video has been taken from this CD. The credits list Lu for vocals and acoustic guitar; Bo Ramsey electric guitar; Billy Watts acoustic guitar; recorded March 15, 2001 on 107.1 KGSR Radio Austin. The interview with Jody Denberg was recorded April 27, 2001 and is pretty much verbatim to the transcript posted earlier in this thread – some of Jody’s questions have been edited down in length a little in the transcript, and his intro wasn’t included either, but all of her side of the interview is in the transcript. The first song track is a “Super Clean Edit” version of “Essence” which means they just laid, what sounds like some distorted power chords, over the F-bomb… a not very subtle editing job! Also includes the album versions of “Lonely Girls”, “Get Right With God”, “Out Of Touch” and “Broken Butterflies”
I’m pretty happy with it – there’s a lot of Lu speaking which is nice ’cause I really like listening to the lilt of her voice. And this version of “Blue”, as you’re all aware, is fantastic; however, there is a slight buzzing noise audible throughout that track which you can hear on the You Tube version too…
