My eight year old daughter came home. She asked me what I was watching. I told her it was Lucinda and the next song is Sweet Old World. She exclaimed that she loves that song and proceeded to snuggle up with me to listen with me. Yes, I know it”s a sad song about suicide but still it was a very touching father-daughter moment as she sang along with me.
I must’ve listened to Greenville over 200 times and still it hits me in my solar plexus. My emotional core.
I am on my second viewing. This time with a tumbler of bourbon and enjoying the shit out of this performance.
Thanks, all. I will order it pronto. I look forward to sitting back with a glass of bourbon in one hand and in my other hand the remote with the volume all the way up.

Great article. Thanks for sharing.
I especially relate to this part…
Her concerts give the impression of being in a hall full of people, each of whom imagined she would be singing exclusively for them, and is rather peeved to find anyone else in the audience.I’ve never seen her live but this is how I feel about her music.
I hope you get to see her live. It’s the best bad to the bone, spiritual show one can experience.
It has become a bucket list thing for me now. The next time she’s in the NY-NJ area, I am there. Also, I want to go alone because I don’t want to share the experience with anyone else. lol
I wonder if there’s a chance she’ll play in my town of South Orange, NJ. We have a relatively new performance arts center (SOPAC) that would be perfect for her. Steve Earle recently played here so it could be possible for Ms. Williams.

Through the wonder of YouTube. Wow.
Jeez, that was last October and only twenty minutes from my house. I need to get in the loop.
Check in every now and then – always something happening with Lu. 🙂
Oh I will. Next time she plays the Wellmont in West Orange, or NYC, I’m there. Looks like she’ll be in Europe for a bit though.

I’ve been meaning to respond to this thread since we were in Fayetteville visiting Miller, but for some reason couldn’t sign in. It was a small irony when this topic popped up because there was a beautiful print made for Lucinda and Miller’s Poetry Sung Poetry Said show in Chicago in 2004 (i believe). It is a block print done by Kevin Bradley who had Yee Haw Industries in Knoxville and has done a couple of other designs for Lucinda (including the Raised On Polk Salad and Poetry t-shirt for Car Wheels). Anyway, the print which is displayed at Miller’s house, has the words to Miller’s A Poem For Emily on the left side and the words to Blue on the right side. The irony is that A Poem For Emily is about the birth of Emily, Lucinda’s niece. When this thread popped up I thought the whole death and birth thing was, well….ironic.
I should add that if anyone ever sees this print show up on Ebay or elsewhere I would like to know as I do not believe that Lucinda has one -and there were only a hundred made.I also have to add that the response earlier in this thread of “they’re not worth it in the end” was absolutely hilarious.
The post of the year.Wow, that is ironic.
