Lucinda Williams 6/26/15 Arts and Ideas Fest

Nice weather for Lucinda on the New Haven green. Good crowd supported some classics, Joy, Car Wheels, Passionate Kisses. Solid backing band could rock these tunes from legendary songwriter. Lucinda was in good form, she is a temperamental artist and feeds off good karma. I saw her at Toads once and a Sox-yanks game was showing on the back bar TV eliciting some untimely (with the music) cheers. "What the fuck is goin on back there?" She blurted before quickly ending her set. Tonight's  show ended with two classic encores, "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash and "Rockin in the Free World" the Neil Young classic that was recently wrongfully pinched to serve as the theme song for Donald Trump's candidacy for president.
