Just stumbled across another Lucinda Williams discussion forum on the web site Topix.
Here is the link to the forum

Here is one reader’s evaluation of Laura.
Any Lucinda Williams fans like Laura Warshauer?
Posted in the Lucinda Williams Forum
This is too easy, i just hope it’s not too late.. I’ve heard every female singer / songwriter’live’ and everyone in between from Baez and Joni Mitchell in their prime to Jewel and Sheryl Crow to contemporary hybrids like Fergie and Pink. And right smack in the middle sits the greatest and most underrated of all. Lucinda Williams.. Just ask Elvis Costello
or Springsteen or countless other musicians who their girl is!. I’ve been listening and marveling for more than a dozen years. Now what about Laura Warshauer?.. Well i give this phenom less than five years to surpass Lucinda or any one else you can name including country genre as the best all around that’s ever lived!! She’s going to redefine the whole damn concept of female singer / songwriters Providing that management conglomerate behind her and its shareholders don’t burn her the hell out or corrupt her!.. what she needs is a business woman like Madonna behind her and giving advise.. now there’s a helluva shield no one’s gonna screw with! and Madonna is too jaded to be corrupt!- perfect! What a team those two would make.. hey anyone got her number?End Quote

I doubt anyone can surpass Lu in our time but this commentator above seems to think so.
Watch Laura perform “Black Crow” on her My Space site as linked to above in karabear’s posting.
Might as well add her photo.[attachment=0:lpjtnetf]Laura Warshauer.jpg[/attachment:lpjtnetf]

And, since our moderator is partial to the female vocalists Laura will be appearing May 15th at the Hard Rock in Atlanta.
I think she is a truly gifted artist from NJ and really like her sound.

David, for the sake of clarity, I think maybe you should be more specific & say “xxx% of poll respondents“, not “xxx% of posters“…

Which may be very well what you meant by “posters”, but I thought that I would point that out since there were only eight “poll respondents”

This small pool of stats is the strongest poll that has been produced to-date

David, I know your poll still has a few more days to run, but define “strongest”.
My feeble attempt at a poll entitled “2010 Poll on Lucinda’s Records” drew twenty poll respondents.( You could only vote for one selection in mine)

Both are great, but I have to go with the 1998 because of Kenny Vaughn.

So for those very few posters who may not as of yet purchased the superb 1998 DVD from Austin City Limits, 3 recent videos are now on “Lu Tube” to entice you to buy the DVD.

I positive that I heard an interview with her on the World Cafe and she sang a Bruce Springsteen song I think it’s “Highway Patrol”

RJF-Welcome to Lucinda’s friendly forum.
Bruce was a special guest at a Lucinda concert in London, England back in November/06, but this song “Highway Patrolman” was not done.
Can’t find if Lucinda ever covered this song on World Cafe or elsewhere but another great singer did so.
Dar Williams on the album called “Badlands, a Tribute to Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska”
Have a listen.

Maybe someone else in the Forum can be of more help.

tntracy;
Another one possibly to add to your spreadsheet.
Song is called “There’s Something There” written by Bob Woodruff and accompanied by Lucinda.
This was a sound track from the 2005 movie called “Her Minor Thing”

The song was published 01/01/2003 by Red Velvet Records but I can’t find it.
Anyway have a listen to the song from Bob Woodruff’s My Space page.
Just scroll down on the playlist. beautiful song.
