When I hear Dar do it, I think "How nice. Dar is singing a Richard Shindell song." When Lucy does it, she *is* Mary Magdalene. Same thing with "Cold Missouri Waters." Although James Keelaghan (who wrote it) does a nice enough version, it just *seems* to be Richard's song. In fact, on the tape of the12/20/98 WFUV radio show, Richard cracks "Here's a song that I started writing, but which James Keelaghan finished." Yeah, he was joking, but when Richard sings that song, he *is* Wag Dodge. My favorite "Mary Magdalene" moment was this fall at the Richard/Lucy SUNY show in Farmingdale, Lawn Guyland. Richard was battling a horrible cold and could barely speak, much less sing, and when someone in the audience requested "Mary Magdalene," and RS indicated that he probably wouldn't be able to pull it off, Lucy volunteered. And I would challenge *anyone* to say that they've ever heard a more heart-stopping version. RockinRon (or any of the rest of the 35 of you who were there that night) can back me up on this one. BTW, I spent Sunday afternoon at a simply magical house concert by Hugh Blumenfeld. His first CD, "The Strong in Spirit," is one of my all-time favorites, featuring angelic harmonies by you-know-who. The show was great (and Harvey can back me up on this one -- it's nice having partners in crime these days) and I highly recommend the CD. Finally, I agree with the person who said that although we don't need a collective noun, FOLKs (Friends/Fans/Followers/Freaks of Lucy Kaplansky) is by far the best I've heard. At least it's not one I'd be embarrassed to be called. As opposed, say, to Lucy-Goosies, which just makes me want to crawl under my chair. Have a Ten Year Week, y'all.

One of the highlights of the show (which was chock full of highlights) was Darryl's new song 'Ring on my hand'. He recently recorded it as a duet with none other than Lucy. It's a gorgeous wedding song that could well be the *best* wedding song of all time. :) Look for Darryl's new cd to come out sometime this Spring. I'll be ordering it through http://songs.com when it comes out. You should too if you want to discover a new artist and get a Lucy-highlight at the same time. I guess since I'm already posting, I should say a bit about myself. I was introduced to Lucy after "The Tide" came out, but didn't become a big fan until sitting front row center at her house concert at Jodi and Paula's house. Not only was she a wonderful performer, but also a sweetheart. Now "Flesh and Bone" get heavy air time in my house. Luckily I convinced a wonderful venue in Hastings to book her for their next season. I'm sure it will be a highlight for everyone there! :) Becka ps. i agree with those who are anti-nickname, but of the ones suggested so far Lucy-gooseys is wonderful and Lucy-fers is a TERRIBLE choice! _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I can hardly put into words how excited I am about this one. I know it's only March...but something's ya just know...so I'm claiming "Ten Year Night" as my top CD pick of 1999. Last year after hearing Lucinda William's "Car Wheels..." many of us named it CD of the year as soon as it was released. So, last year...Lucinda. This year....Lucy. It worked last time. I held off posting anything about this CD because I was so thrilled with it...that I wasn't sure if I was just beyond bias at this point. I was sold on Lucy the first time I saw her live. Okay..."sold" isn't quite the right description...."blown away" is more accurate. And that was years ago when she first started touring around for "The Tide." We're blessed here in the Boston area with lots of live music and a fairly crowded singer/songwriter field. And I wish *I* was as talented as any of the artists I've seen over the years---but Lucy is definitely on a different level then the average coffee house performer. Matter o' fact...she's pretty much in the top league of female artists in any category out there. (She should be on that Lilith Fair stage.) The worst I can say about this cd is that it's a risky move putting "Ten Year Night" as the first song. I never thought I'd get past it to hear the rest of the CD. After the fourth play ...I thought I really should move on to hear the rest of the songs. And okay...if I'm pressed for a less than glowing comment...I'd say the CD photos don't do the girl justice. Lucy's gorgeous. You'd think she didn't photograph well or something....but anyone who's seen the photos of her in that SOLO -Women Singer-Songwriters book know that's not true. I can't figure out the deal on the design/photos...but that's all secondary stuff. It's really about the music. And there's nothing to complain about in that department. Having heard all these songs live...I've wondered how the produced versions would stand up to the live versions. Especially "Ten Year Night." This is one of those times when the production has only enhanced the songs. "Ten Year Night" stays close to the live version (to my ears). I think of this song as Lucy's "Polaroids." "End of the Day" rawks! I flipped out when I first heard Lucy do this song live. I wasn't sure if it was a cover or what...but was thrilled to find out it was a Kaplansky/Litvin original. LOVE IT!!! (and we gotta give that Litvin boy his due ...he co-wrote these songs with Lucy.) If "For Once In Your Life" doesn't make you want to hug your mom or loved one...I don't know what will. Love that "country thang" she's got going on in "One Good Reason." THANKFULLY...the one cover song she included on the CD is "Somewhere Out There." I LOVE Steve Earle...but there's a whole different feel to this song when Lucy sings it....once again demonstrating a talent for making a cover song her own. Well, I won't go on raving about EACH song on the cd...I could...but I won't. As most people on this list know by now....The CD isn't released in the stores until 3/16 (or was it the 23rd?)...but Red House Records is letting people get it early (like now) via mail-order by calling 1-800-695-4687. I think "CRYing" with Dar has increased her fan base since "Lucytalk" is all over the DAR internet list (as well as on the internet lists of Catie Curtis, The Nields, and Shawn Colvin). It's always been just a matter of her music getting heard. Which makes me wonder what would have happened if Lucy's music was exposed to the large audiences that attended Shawn's last tour. (In a perfect world there's always Shawn's next tour-but what do I know...) Anyway, I think a wider audience has already been sold on LK (thanks in part to touring with Dar Williams) and "Ten Year Night" is released right on time to capitalize on it. Perhaps it's less "folk"...and has more mainstream appeal. But all the experience of touring around the country for years with just a guitar...along with the kind of insight that goes into picking out a traditional ballad to cover like "Mary and the Soldier" and making it so special are all still here. The same artist who can give you chills by blending her voice so delicately with Jennifer Kimball's on a cover like "Guinevere" or an original like "Edges" can also write and belt out an rocker like "End of the Day." Then sit at a piano and move you with "If You Could See"...or touch you with "For Once In Your Life." Originals, covers, harmonizing, guitar, piano...There's just so much here. The depth of her talent and experience is evident in every live show and in each cd she releases. It's no wonder she appears as a guest on so many cds. What a blast it is to watch her popularity and the appreciation of her talents skyrocket. It couldn't happen to a more deserving artist... Just another Kaplanskyhead (or whatever we're allowed to refer to ourselves as on this list), - -Denise <--who, btw, has no problem with the idea of partaking in a pitcher of Margaritas or double espressos before a LK show. ; ) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 15:31:15 -0500 (EST) From: eric Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Long Lucy Ramble Denise (SteadyOnDC@aol.com) wrote: > >Having heard all these songs live...I've wondered how the produced versions >would stand up to the live versions.

Davis" Subject: [lucy-list] Cry Cry Cry show 3/5/99 in West Hartford, CT and other ramblings Lucy, Richard and Dar were all in exceptional form last Friday night. They performed the same set list I have heard on two previous occasions, but the lack of surprises did not diminish an extraordinary evening of music. The cd sounds wonderful, but their live performances are even more vibrant. I have been fortunate enough to hear Lucy and Richard harmonize together from the time they first began appearing together by design. The two of them have a special rapport that comes through in the near-perfect blending of their voices. Adding Dar has created a new, different sound, unique yet involving and at times emotionally wrenching. And the interplay of their personalities gives each performance an added wrinkle- sure, you get some of the same song intros, but one of them will invariably wander off on a tangent at some point and the ensuing interplay between the three of them makes even the pauses between the songs crackle with energy. As we all know, this album was designed to be a one-shot, one time only deal. All three of them have developed healthy, growing careers as solo artists. I can only think of one other trio of performers that have created as profoundly satisfying a sound-- that would be Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris. I just hope that Lucy, Richard and Dar won't wait nearly as long to put out a second album. BTW, just an aside on Lucy's new album, which I agree is extraordinary. Should any of you be planning to see Lucy in the near future, she already has the album for sale at her gigs, even though it is not officially out yet. So if you haven't gotten it from Red House yet, pick it up from Lucy at her show. I think the artists get to keep a bigger cut when they sell the albums themselves, so it works out to everyone's advantage. I would also have to agree that I preferred the photos on Flesh and Bone to those on the new album-- I don't think the photos on Ten Year Night remotely do her justice, but it's obvious the label was trying for a different, more stylized look. I just don't get why you would bother messing with a picture of someone whose warmth, personality, and beauty shine out so well from her photographs (as a previous contributor noted, the pictures of her in the book "Solo" were excellent). Of course, what the hell do I know about marketing an album? If the only remotely critical thing you have to say about an album is that the artist looks better than the cover, I guess that tells you something about how truly successful the music within is at showcasing the ever-growing talents of a brilliant singer-songwriter.
