Another post of a legend covering other legends.
During lockdown Lucinda Williams released a series of six themed livestream concerts that pay tribute to specific artists, musical styles, and eras. These were known collectively as Lu's Jukebox. Something to do and also something to generate some much needed income during those difficult times
The six volumes are as follows
Vol 1 - Runnin' Down a Dream - a tribute to Tom Petty
Vol 2 - Southern Soul (from Memphis to Muscle Shoals & more)
Vol 3 - Bob's Back Pages - A Night of Bob Dylan Songs
Vol 4 - Funny How Time Slips Away - A Night of 60's Country Classics
Vol 5 - Have Yourself a Rocking Little Christmas
Vol 6 - It's Only Rock'n'Roll - a tribute to the Rolling Stones
All available on Discogs here
As you can see three cover specific artists so in the spirit of legends covering legends a song from each is featured below.
Her long threatened autobiography Don't Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You is finally available and has taken pride of place at the top of my birthday list
Lucinda Williams - Runnin' Down a Dream
I'll be adding that autobiog to my own endless wants list... though I might wait for the paperback (cheapskate!).
ReplyDeleteI checked out her version of Dylan's Queen Jane etc which I really liked but when all's said done these types of full cover albums just make you want to go back and listen to the original songs themselves. Reductive I know but that's me - a reductive sourpuss. I may feel differently tomorrow haha
