She rode back with us in 1981 and a fellow singer/writer in a Econoline ( w/ out AC )from Austin to Houston.She was kind of shy & but no fake modesty here - you could sense that she was going to break through inevitably.I admire her as much for her talent as for her tenacity.
I had to come out and find this song because I need my key back from my lover. Told him to leave it in the mailbox along with my heart as long as he's at it. ;-) I may just be changing the lock on my front door but secretly hope he'll just use it come back to me and tell me he can't live without me. Not that I should take him back. Lucinda is that balls-y girl who I should be, just DO IT.
Lu is in a league of her own. You should see her in person. I have, at least 20 times!! She is amazing!! And she always comes out afterwords and talks you up and signs your cd or tee or whatever. West will blow you away. She never duplicates herself. A true renascence musician! Brilliant!!
i know what you're getting at, but i don't think "underrated" is the right word. she may not have the financial success of other performers, but she's got an extensive, loyal following. she's been a darling of the critics for decades and she's got the respect of virtually every industry player. she's just a little tough to market to a broader audience. damned philistines.
@KEvronius i heard this song the otherday and it just proves my point even more i cant stand listening to live shows they sound like shit the studio like cd quality version is always a thousand times better
I am stunned by Lucinda's talent! Why her music isn't on regular radio is beyond me. I've listened to her for about 30 years and can't tell you one single song she does that isn't fantastic!
Man does this bring back memories. Saw this lineup backing Lucinda on a warm summer evening at Portland's Waterfront Park. She saved this bad boy for the first encore and Kenny Vaughan just tore it a new one on lead guitar.
That's cousin kenny vaughn w/ the spectacles and badass guitar. Now, wisely, he's with marty stuart's fabulous superlatives, one of the greatest bands of all time.
It's Kenny Vaughn....Doug Pettibone is a great all around guitarist, but Kenny has balls and Kenny bouncing off of JJ in the old Car Wheels band.....there was just nothing like it....the two of them on Joy is killer. Last I heard Kenny was playing with Marty Stewart
Thanks for the info. I saw her with Kenny on lead guitar at the Newport Folk Festival maybe 10 years ago (?). If there were a roof on that place, they would have blown it down.
Her latest album, West, has her latest kiss-off song yet - Come on! Lucinda, you have helped me back from the deepest depths with your power and guts.
This song is old, and is on her 1989 Self-titled album that is out of print now (but not too hard to find) but was released on Rough Trade Records. There's talk of a re-printing this Spring.
There's also a good live version on 2005's Live at the Filmore.
I really dig this chick's music. This song ROCKS. "I changed the tracks underneath the train..."
