I really liked
Are You Alright, Learning How To Live, and Everything Has Changed from the start, since they’re in Lucinda’s usual style. I think the interplay between the violin and the overdriven guitar on Unsuffer me is cool. Some people have commented that What If seems silly or something to that effect, but I like it when a songwriter puts in something a little quirky, different than how I would phrase it. I think that some off the lyrics are whimsical, but are followed by some that are pretty serious(if prisoners were freed, if we loved one another in equal amounts)

I thought Lucinda was in fine form. She said she felt more relaxed, after the New York shows. Only down side was that we were in the second to last rows, in cramped seats. The Orpheum is an old theatre, and not that comfortable, but the sound was good. She did Learning How To Live, Unsuffer Me, Everthing Has Changed (with the bass player on a bowed upright bass), Come On(which I agree is better live), Rescue, and West off the new album, plus a bunch off her older ones. The new band seems to be working out well.
