Yes, tonyg, MA is ‘mature audience.’ One knows these things with video game playing house inhabitants. đ
Lafayette, since I’m a senior citizen I’m sure I’m mature, so give me a clue as to who might post or if you care not to divulge it on the FF send me a PM. đ
signed: Just curious and not up to date on all the social media lingo.

Disclaimer: possible MA post to follow, although something tells me it won’t offend most here in the FF.
Following was tweeted after the Echoplex show. I nominate this as best tweet of the year:
“if you didn’t get laid after that show, do not blame lucinda williams. lucinda williams did all she could for you.” đ
Certainly a great tweet Lafayette.
Re: possible MA post to follow. I think I know who you might be referring to. If MA is a state abbreviation perhaps it should be ME.

Burning Bridges {Lu can’t resist hinting who it is about after, mentioning a person who played in her early bands and records who won’t be reached out to these days–“I’m OK, he’s the one with the problem”]
/quote]The above quote is from stoger’s report from the Coach House-San Juan Capistrano.
Here’s the “Burning Bridges” video from the Echoplex.
I think most of us know who this person is.

A review from the LA Times.
An excerpt says it all.
Williamsâ legacy is in good hands with todayâs young female artists. But a Williams set in 2014 reminds one only how striking, original and inimitable that voice is.
Yhe link to the review.

stoger, just awesome reporting detail as per usual, thanks.
Nice solo work by Stuart in this video.
Also, I looked and looked at Mr. Norton’s bass drum and it appears beside the usual pork pie insignia that Butch took some black electrical tape from his workshop and emblazoned “LU” on it. Am I wrong đ ?Did Lu clarify any more positive release date for the double CD ?
Here’s the video for Something Wicked…..

Hey Lafayette the pony express arrived today. Really appreciate the autographed CD.
Love the songs especially “Bad Reputation”. Angela’s pronunciation of the word reputation has a real Southern twang to it.Funny, I had sent you a PM earlier today to let you know that the CD hadn’t yet arrived and to comment on a couple other FF topics.

Great reporting everyone and sure is nice to hear from our friends in Spain again.
Here’s a review from the Orange County Register with an excerpt below providing more info on the new songs.
âWalk On,â a message of empowerment from the 61-year-old to young women that made its live debut here, has a jangly pep uncommon to so much of her hard-bitten catalog, while her opening tune â âSomething Wicked This Way Comes,â inspired by the Bradbury story â arrived swampy and spiced-up by Greg Leiszâs slide guitar.
Yet neither those nor any other new cut â like the defiant âFoolishness,â akin in spirit to Tom Pettyâs âI Wonât Back Down,â or the bluesy rocker âEverything But the Truthâ (already issued on a supplement to The Lone Ranger soundtrack) â came across overly derivative of the era sheâs hoping to evoke. They sound like Lucinda; she canât really sound like anyone else. Even her graceful cover of the Velvet Undergroundâs âPale Blue Eyes,â which Lu dedicated to the late Lou Reed (and one of her mentors, producer Hal Willner) and which reportedly appears on her new collection, felt familiar, as if it had been in her songbook for years.The full review.

thanks for the good post, Tony. Can anyone add to the three (apparently new originals) titles between “Drunken Angel” and “Out of Touch.” Was “Walk On” the Neil Young cover, or a different original song?
The 3 songs as per tonyg:
Burn Your Bridges (I think)…. Isn’t this a line from “Ugly Truth”-Blessed album ?
New song (didn’t catch the title)
Foolishness (not sure about this oneHere’s a quote from a recent Rolling Stone article on new songs.
Songs Williams cut include “Foolishness,” “Stow Away,” a Ray Bradbury-inspired song called “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “Walk On,” which she says sounds like Brill Building-era Carole King. The sessions also yielded three interesting covers: J.J. Cale’s “Magnolia,” the Velvet Undergound’s “Pale Blue Eyes” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Factory.”Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lucinda-williams-on-next-albums-the-older-i-get-the-more-i-thrive-20140116#ixzz2tmn7Mra4
