Lucinda Williams got married on September 18 during one of her concerts in Minneapolis. She credited Hank Williams as her inspiration to do this. It is coincidental that my posts last week were about Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Sister Rosetta staged here third marriage during a large concert at Griffith Stadium in Washington D.C. I think that was sometime during the 50's. As far as I know there is no film of Sister Rosetta's wedding, but this being the 21st century Lucinda's is on YouTube.
I am going to see Lucinda on Tuesday night when she comes to Baltimore. The last time I saw her she gave a four hour performance. I am not expecting that to happen again, but I am hoping that she does her song "Side of the Road", which she did not do when I saw her before.
The first line is missing from this clip. It is "You wait in the car by the side of the road">
She has so many good songs that it is hard to have a favorite. But here is another good one, "Bus to Baton Rouge".
And to include something from her latest album, here is "What It".
