Seems like he did a wedding gig recently singing with the groom while the bride is in the audience.The hip Adam Sandler! Thanks, LWJ 🙂

Let’s do this Tom. Charleston, short drive down the road….follow the bus back home for a Monday night show in Savannah! Get a chance to show many of my friends the artist that I am impassioned about.
Count me in for Charleston and Savannah (if it happens) – both lovely, genteel Southern towns. 🙂

It’s still up in the air but it’s looking like the 15th will now be the Pisgah Brewing Festival near Asheville NC. We’re trying to work out the 9/16-18, with Savannah and Charleston SC in the picture -but nothing is completely locked in until 9/19 in St. Pete.
TomO, thank you SO much for keeping us updated on possibilities. It really helps with scheduling travel. I had planned on flying to Nashville, but now it may turn into a looonnngg roadtrip! 😀
Also, thanks to TomT and Lafayette for the Athens pre-sale alert. 🙂
Thanks for always sharing the backstories, Tom. They really do shed a different light on the subject.
Lu and Bob sure are cut from the same creative cloth, aren’t they?
Property of Jesus is an obscure favorite of mine that could pertain to political prisoners, and I’m sure Blake could work his usual magic with the guitar parts. 🙂
Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
Because he has denied himself the things that you can’t live without
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin’ throughHe’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You’ve got a heart of stoneStop your conversation when he passes on the street
Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won’t that be sweet
Because he can’t be exploited by superstition anymore
Because he can’t be bribed or bought by the things that you adoreHe’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You’ve got a heart of stoneWhen the whip that’s keeping you in line doesn’t make him jump
Say he’s hard of hearin’, say that he’s a chump
Say he’s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
Because he doesn’t pay tribute to the king that you serveHe’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You’ve got a heart of stoneSay that he’s a loser ’cause he got no common sense
Because he don’t increase his worth at someone else’s expense
Because he’s not afraid of trying, you say he’s got no style
Because he doesn’t tell you jokes or fairy tales, you say he’s failed to make you smile.He’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You’ve got a heart of stoneYou can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games
You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came
But you’ve picked up quite a story and you’ve changed since the womb
What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?He’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You’ve got a heart of stoneHe’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better

I was at that U2 show. Waited more than a year to see this show because it was postponed due to Bono’s back surgery. Totally worth the wait. What a amazing show! Won’t say one out rocks they other. I think both Lucinda and U2 are great, in totally different ways.
Haunted – absolutely no diss against U2 intended! I just love the little club shows so much more than humongous stadium shows,… and I guess I am a little biased toward Lu… and selfishly glad that she doesn’t play the big arenas…
Glad you enjoyed a great show! xo 🙂
The renovated Beacon Theatre was magnificent, the band sounded great, and Lu’s voice was flawless.
Set list:
1. Can’t Let Go
2. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road – “Thanks for braving the heat to come out”. The heat index in the city was about 105 degrees; the heat index in the subway was 127 degrees. I was extraordinarily grateful this was an inside air-conditioned show!
3. Buttercup
4. Right In Time
5. I Lost It
6. Little Angel, Little Brother – duet with Amos Lee. “Son of a bitch, I love this man!! His voice…oohhh… Amos Lee…. we’ve been doing this song every night… There aren’t too many younger people who can sing like that. He’s got that soul…”
7. Born To Be Loved
8. Blue
9. Hot Blood – “I think it’s time. We’re gonna kick it up a little bit here now.”
10. Still I Long For Your Kiss – “I had a little help on this song from my friend, the late songwriter, Duane Jarvis.”
11. Essence – “I was doing an interview the other day, and the guy said he’d heard another journalist call me ‘The Rock ‘n Roll Poet Laureate of Pain’. I thought that was pretty cool.”
12. Changed The Locks
13. Joy
14. Honey BeeEncore: (quick turnaround)
15: Blessed – solo start, band walked on
16. Get Right With God – “Love, peace, and revolution. Don’t give up the fight. People’s rights!”Great show, and it was a pleasure to meet Grumpymama. She didn’t seem grumpy to me at all. 😀
I just checked Ticketmaster and they had two seats in Row D (8th row) available – not bad!! Good luck. 🙂
Blake, I LOVE the idea of no stage walk off for the encore. How about a Wayne’s World move to indicate the end of the main set? 😉
I am on a very hot, crowded train on my way to the Montclair show tonight. Apparently , a little band by the name of U2 is playing at the Meadowlands tonight.
Bet Lu and Crew outrocks them.:)

”I fucking swallowed a bug.” – Lucinda in the thick of it last night.

Seattle favorite Lucinda Williams’ Zoo show sold out
PATRICK SEMANSKY / AP
Lucinda Williams’ deadpan, sometimes slurred vocal delivery and more than sometimes depressing songs are not everyone’s cup of tea, to be sure, but the somberly poetic, 58-year-old singer-songwriter is a Seattle favorite. Her Wednesday concert at the Woodland Park Zoo sold out long ago and her new album, “Blessed,” is getting deservedly upbeat reviews. Many of the new songs take temporary leave from heartbreak hotel to visit other neighborhoods, notably in “Born to Be Loved” and the title track, where Williams discovers that she and others are, indeed, “blessed,” if also fated.
6 p.m. Wednesday, Woodland Park Zoo, 601 N. 59th St. Seattle; sold out (206-548-2467 or http://www.zoo.org/zootunes).
Watch Lucinda Williams play “Blessed”: http://www.youtube.com; search Lucinda Williams and “Blessed.”
