4. Born To Be Loved
This song is sounding goosebump amazing! Goosebumps, I’m telling you…
At the end someone just yelled “Beautiful!”
After “Drunken Angel” she mentions something about Foley’s Bar (in Austin) being run by Blaze Foley’s sister (the radio announcer interrupted and I had trouble hearing the rest of the remarks), a BBQ place she says that plays live music.
She introduces next song. “A song I wrote about a poet in Arkansas.”

hehe…well, at least I’m not stroking tonight. 😆 Drinking some green tea.
Lu introduces first song. This is a song off the new album…it’s called “Buttercup.”

The sound is incredible. She sounds great!

Well some of it is going to be available on ITunes in a couple days as Live At SXSW exclusive. I think I forgot to mention that.
Now that you say that, I think you mentioned it in Asheville to us, but I had forgotten it. Cool! 8)

I have to figure out what’s going on with my itunes. Completely frozen everytime I launch it. Very exciting the show is going to be featured on itunes!
Lu is up next! Good grief, listening to these guys doing radio is borderline unbearable. Juvenile jokes about smoking and drinking. UGH.
There were two Blessed tshirts. I purchased the one that had Blessed written (in black) across the length of the shirt 6 times in succession and Lucinda Williams (in white) written up the side of the shirt. It’s a woman’s cut, V neck on blue/gray blackground. LOVE it!
Another Blessed shirt, in black, had Blessed written similar to the CD.
I’m sorry, I don’t recall seeing any vinyl, but I was in a hurry to purchase the shirt. I did purchase a CD as well.
Tnt your recount of the night’s events are so much more colorful than mine. No, I don’t remember her telling me to back up. Thanks for having my back.
Keep calling in those requests! The station I listen to has Friday morning requests. I called in today and asked to hear “Convince Me” or as I also suggested, anything from “Blessed.” I told the music host I had just come back from the Asheville show at The Orange Peel. I, unfortunately, didn’t get to hear the song played as I was headed into doctor’s office for a visit. I checked later on their playlist, and sure enough, “Convince Me” was played. I wanted to hear if he had mentioned my Asheville visit but, alas, missed it.
I’m tuned in now…took advantage of the free 30 day trial offered by Sirius. Joe Black Lewis is playing right now. Good thing I’m a night owl. I’ll take notes of Lu’s set. 😉 if no one else tunes in.

Lafayette, you and Tom each got a free beer!
Yes, we did! I’ve never had beer poured on me before. I love road trips. hehe

Yes, Asheville was great. I love the standing room floor much better than the seated theaters and the Orange Peel can’t be beat. Good to see all you “regulars” there. It was a long way from Birmingham but we were headed to Kingsport, TN to see family anyway. The energy from both the stage and the crowd was fantastic.
Gotta tell this..
This morning in Kingsport, driving my Mom to the grocery store, she decided to stop at Mac’s Medical for a prescription. As we were leaving, I glanced up to see Stoger behind the counter! I was dumbfounded and for just a moment, I was speechless. I stared a moment and said “Roger?” He stared a moment and said “Randy?” What an unbelievable coincidence! We rehashed the Asheville show a while and traded a story or two.
Still hard to believe this million-to-one chance meeting. The Lu family ties will pop up at the most unexpected times.Randy
Hi Randy, it was great bumping into you and is it Cathy or Kathy (?) again, even if I didn’t quite remember ya’ll 😳 from the Atlanta show, where I’m happy to say, no bumping and grinding at that show from women standing in front or behind me. I also met WW, stoger, and tnt that night as well!
First, great note taking and report, West Words! I, too, am glad you made it home. A 9 hour drive is pushing it for me…my limit is 8 these days.
Rainydayman, I regret not meeting up before the show. Next time, I hope. I love meeting fans, especially FF member fans. My issue was a late start, thinking I had a 5 1/2 hour drive, only to go into slight panic mode when I hopped in the car, plugged in my destination, and an extra hour I wasn’t counting on appeared on the GPS. It all worked out though as I arrived at the venue just shortly after doors opened.
The show, as reported, was absolutely smokin’. Lu & the band were firing on all cylinders. Even with the flub during Lake Charles, Lu laughed it off and just started the verse over. She was smiling from ear to ear with the audience response. It was my best show to date. They’re all good, this one was exceptional!
We, as in tnt and I, had an issue with some crashers. TNT was on the rail and I was standing slightly back from the rail, basically at a second row status. There was room between TNT & another girl to be a rail leaner, but I decided I liked the room so I could jam a bit. At one point, TNT offered his spot to some friends of West Words and he stood beside me and somewhat behind. At this point, some drunk girls came up and stood right in front of me/us. I was somewhat miffed but I could still see so I tried to let it roll off my back. At this point, drunk girl #1, standing right in front of me, kept shouting “I love you, Lu” and proceeded to start dancing and bumping into me full throttle. I couldn’t take it so I shoved her back with my body and she turned around and gave me some lip service and I told her she was bumping into me while she was dancing. She said “I’ve worked all night to get up here, I love her, blah blah.” So not only did she jump in front of me she felt like she could dance and body bang me, and it was constant. Truly aggravating. So we had more words and she said “I want to dance, do you want to get in front of me ?” I jumped in front of her, apparently she poured beer on me. I didn’t feel the beer but was told afterwards and sure enough, wet in the back. Then, tnt had words with her, he got in front of her, and he had a whole cup of beer poured on him. It was quite the night.
So, I’ve had one girl bumping into me (at the Columbus show) standing behind me, and now this one absolutely banging into me in front of me. Aaaahhhh…general admission shows. I love them, though, the energy of live GA show is unparalleled for me.
After the show, we met Bill Rouda, the photographer behind the book of the revitalization of Lower Broadway in Nashville, where Lu is the premise of the book and the subject of several photos. Lu also wrote the foreword.
