Lucinda is just the BEST songwriter around today and this song always breaks my heart. (Love that 12 string) !

Lucinda is a poet first. She sits at the table with Townes Van Zandt, Dylan, Steve Earle, Blaze Foley and John Prine. All great writers and poets.

Musical angel.

Yeah, Bonnie Raitt has only won 10 Grammys. I'm sure the voters for those are far less musically knowledgeable as you.

[Stan Proctor]

Sorry, but Bonnie Overaitted is nowhere near the same league as these other song writers. And while we're on the subject, Gene Clark has to be included as a great American song writer...

[Randy Bauer]

Don't forget Patty Griffin and Bonnie Raitt, among others.

This song could've been written about my high school band director. He was the most important teacher I ever had. The first rock band I was ever in was one he started with me & other kids in high school. He committed suicide five years after I graduated.

[Scott Yeager]

Well said I would add Neil Young and Jeff Tweedy but i agree 100%.

[SomeSoupGirl8D]

This was the first song I learned on the guitar 

[Stephen Travis]

I would add Guy Clark to your impressive list.

Lucinda is major force in the songwriters field with songs that tell it like it is ,she pulls no punches, Awsome talent and band, with super player Kenny Vaughn on that cool Daneletro 12 string, The vid is a bit out of sync but that's ok it's nice to see, One of the first of her songs i learned, not hard but much feel and fun to play to. thanks
