Lucinda’s Artpark show was one of the best shows I have seen in a long, long time. The performance was far more relaxed than her performance at the University of Buffalo back in the spring. Vocally she really hit her stride after three or four songs. The set list, unless I’m mistaken, only had one song off of West. The rest of the material, as she said, was meant to appeal to the number of kids at the show – in other words, she rocked out. She played a lot of stuff of Car Wheels and four or so blues numbers.

She looked like she had a lot of fun on stage. She seemed genuinely honored to share a stage with Charlie Louvin. Quite simply a perfect performance. Even my wife, who likes Lucinda but is not a big live music fan, was rockin’ out.

Her band is amazing. Doug Pettibone may be the most visible for his stage work, but what she does would not be possible without each member. The only band that can hold a candle is Dylan’s touring band.

Thanks Lucinda. Come back soon!!!
