I was blown away by Lucinda. She was all I expected and more. The first time I heard her was driving from Austin to San Antonio with my kid and I said “what’s that country western?” and she wrinkled up her nose a little like her dad was daft.

Clearly he was. Now I can’t get enough of her. Her songs are so poignant, clever, open, and warm. It’s as if I’m listening to a friend speak, but this friend is a woman who’s got my number pegged. And I mean pegged right down to the floor. In her voice I hear every woman who didn’t buy my excuses, stories, bull pucky, or lies. LOL!

Favorite song of the evening: “Unsuffer Me” That was more than a song, it was a performance, a prayer, an invocation, and an attempt to reach the great beyond and it did. So did I. Wow, Lucinda.

What first turned me on to Lucinda? I heard Emmy Lou Harris sing one of Lucinda’s songs. I don’t remember which one at this time, but her comment was “The Gospel According to Lucinda”. I can appreciate a high compliment and felt I could gain by finding out what this Gospel was all about.

All comments on the venue were accurate: terrific sound and terrific acoustics.
