Loved Lu’s comment on religion from the concert….
“I ain’t got no religion,” she said, looking around. “This is my religion here.”Finally back home (for a minute) and able to log on again.. Not sure what happens to my mobile device(s) but it seems even with the correct password in hand I am still unable to log on.
Great concert that Tony recapped nicely..
Sean Rowe was really quite good as the opener, but I was a little disappointed he didn’t play the song Lu referred to as “probably the best cover of hers she had ever heard” in the Soldier’s Song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2XqhGeEpBQLu sounded phenomenal, as did the band. Her voice just keeps getting stronger.
Having Bill Frisell and Greg on stage for the night was a real treat and the accoustics were incredible in the hall. As Tony mentioned, Bill really seemed to be having a great time the whole evening.I had forgotten that there was yet another special guest by the time Charles Lloyd took the stage, but Wow, did he bring a new flavor to the already rich stew. Amazing versions of Joy and Still I Long for your kiss, and killer version of Faith & Grace.
The crowd pretty much stayed in their seats for the whole show (including encores) which kind of threw me.. So much so that I ended up leaning against the wall and standing after the first encore and waiting for others to join.. never happened. Also odd was when my phone was vibrating to alert me that Lucinda was on Periscope.. only to look up to see Tom filming. Nice to be in attendance when that happens for a change.
Also learned some new LA slang from the news media while I was there..
Apparently what we routinely call light rain and light wind or Monday and Tuesday in the NW, they call “StormDay1 and StormDay2”.. odd. They also explained the concept of rain “puddling” on the roads in great detail. Handy info.A huge thanks to Vivian for sending me her ticket which was several rows better than the one I came with. I tried to find someone who needed my extra ticket before the show but couldn’t find anyone looking. Would gladly have passed it along.. Good to see Grumpymama and Tony before the show.
Flying in this afternoon!
Very excited about this concert.Hope to see some familiar forum friends there! -Mike

Whoo hoo!!
That is a show I would love to make as well.. no go for me on that leg though.I do believe that the most direct route from Texas to Mississippi is through the Northwest however.
Great find indeed!
Liked her comments on the cover of Soldier Song by Sean Rowe..“I did it from the perspective of a soldier who’s over there and everything. This singer-songwriter Sean Rowe, oh my God. Tom played me a video clip of [his version of] “Soldier’s Song” on YouTube and I just about cried. It’s so good. It might be the best cover of mine that anybody’s done.”
Thought the same thing when I heard his cover..
Looking forward to (hopefully) hearing it live at UCLA next week..@stoger wrote:

This has now expanded into the March/April/May tour as more dates are being added -announcements coming soon. The run will now end 5/7 in Meridian, Miss.
give Oxfordtown a shout-out too, Tom. Pollstar does not [usually] lie about such things.
P.S. Name two musicians who were born and bred in Meridian.
Chris Ethridge (Flying Burrito Bros),Pat Sansone (Wilco)
Many more including Hayley Williams , Paul Davis, Alvin Fielder, Jimmie Rodgers and soul singer Al Wilson.*Google and I would like to know where we can claim our prize(s) ❗
What a great album..

Short and sweet review, but the line “It’s the kind of music that the wind carries, soaring between the bones that make up the skeleton of this country.” (!!)

Really great performance.. loved the backdrop with some of the lyrics from Dust.
Very nice.http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/F199B67B-C9AA-9FBF-4848-ECD9385B1A5F/lucinda-williams-performs-dust-/
Thank you Vivian (and Tom)..
I don’t really do FB and this is excellent and much appreciated insights into the songs/album.
