Good crowd at CSMH for Lucinda. Entered to the instrumental rock jams of Buick 6, which turned out to be Lucinda's backing band. Seasoned session rockers consisting of guitar, bass (standup and electric), and drums gave a sufficient kick to talented singer songwriter LW. Known for her classic release "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road", LW has a full catalog of melancholy slow burn and southern rockers. Set list included: Pineola, Lake Charles, Car Wheels, Essence, Blue, Joy, Blessed, Dust (from a poem written by her father), new song Ghosts of Highway 20. LW is a music lover and I always appreciate her choice of cover songs to close the show. Tonight was no exception, doing a heartfelt "Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. She sang "I Ain't Got No Home in this World" by Woody Guthrie complete with a recently uncovered lyric referencing "old man Trump" , apparently the Donald's father was the landlord that evicted Woody from his Brooklyn apartment. LW closed with Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World", the fist pumping anthem riled the crowd as if to rip the song from any connection to Trump's announcement spectacle and return it to it's rightful owner ( a nasally long haired peace-nik from our neighbor to the north).
