Ha, I attribute that to a Freudian slip.
Thanks for the correction, Professor!
LafayetteParticipantLines Around Your Face is a rarity, so it seems.

Here’s my take: june bugs and hurricanes are both drinks. When she sings “june bug vs. hurricane,” she is mulling over what drink she wants to have to try to drown out the memory of her lost lover. The song to me is all about choices, big and small. And I am always left wondering if she regrets the choice she made on the heights of that bridge.
Layered, atmospheric, dripping with Southern imagery, heart-wrenching… this is my favorite Lucinda Williams song.
This isn’t stoger punking us with a new handle?
Actually, welcome, lulover to the Friendly Forum! Stoger is our resident FF professor as an FYI. 🙂
I had no idea June Bug was a drink. Interesting take on the drinks and drowning out the memory of her lost lover. I always assumed it was rival gangs since the context of the song was inspired by Birney Imes’ book of photographs titled “Juke Joints” and several that caught Lu’s eye.
This blog (I think either I posted this in the past or another FF member did and I read it) brings up the drink choices as well.

Again, welcome!
LafayetteParticipantDawn, great recap! It’s on my bucket list to see Lu at HOB in NOLA. I hope one day to check it off.
Thanks for the Mother’s Day best wishes. Too bad you can’t make Nashville!

LafayetteParticipantLu is just plain bad ass.
LafayetteParticipantI’m in catch up mode.
Thanks so much for posting, tonyg, and major kudos to TO for giving us all the inside info.
LafayetteParticipantI need a ‘like’ button.
LafayetteParticipantAs always, thanks for the inside scoop. It’s always a great read.

My shop ran out of copies before I got there. Hope we can hear still hear this somehow.
Send me a PM if you still would like a copy. A friend of mine has a record store and will ship anywhere in the U.S.
LafayetteParticipantWould have been great meeting you, perhaps one day…
LafayetteParticipantMy same sentiment! I LOVE those two songs as well, and they are a Rarity.
LafayetteParticipantI was hoping for mid summer CA dates. My sister wants me to come visit again this summer. Thanks for the 411!
LafayetteParticipantI found a tweet mentioning Lucinda paid her respects tonight (Wednesday) to Merle Haggard by playing “If We Make It Through December.”
LafayetteParticipantAnother review with mentions of songs not mentioned in the first posted review. One could come close to putting the set list together from the two.
