Nicolette Larson covered it on her debut CD, released in 1978, and it's always been a favorite of mine - it does have an old-time "gospel" flavor to it (think Carter Family-type twang), and the lyrics are tear-jerkin' good... =*) Susan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 03:32:07 PDT From: "sharon g" Subject: [lucy-list] dead man walking hey jessica congratulations on the big purple couch you want to hear "dead man walking" i'llwalk it by wedneday night but it'll be like 7:30/7:45- can i sit on the new couch? jump on it you know mary chapin is on the cd too it actually was a project where the artists, spingsteen, suzanne vega, johnny cash etc were shown the movie and the cd was complied from the song written about the movie not for the movie as MCC is on it , it is part of the permanent collection.. i'll bring ozzies/cousins/ and 7th avenue coffee? 7th avenue/ brooklyn..forgot we had one.. now for lucy no opener listed someone seeing her in c3 next ask her for us nyers thanks sharonG ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 07:41:39 -0700 From: michael gaither Subject: [lucy-list] Re: Steve Earle tabs/chords > I didn't think his acoustic version of "Goodbye" could be as good as > Emmylou's -- sorry, she's Emmylou! -- but it is.

Although she and her composing partner, Richard Litvin, weave rather conventional song structures, her words and delivery manage to convey a wide range of feelings that cut to the bone. By turns bitter and hopeful, Kaplansky sings mostly of love. But her expressive voice and, especially, her use of language separates this disc from so many other recordings that lament relationships that once were or might have been. Moreover, she and Litvin know how to engage listeners with that quintessential weapon -- the catchy hook. A prime example is "End of the Day," a cautionary tale of how a promising person disappoints our protagonist by joining the rat race. Even more engaging is "Turn the Lights Back On," a gripping three-plus minutes in which Kaplansky makes it clear to a former flame that she's no longer the woman he once knew. There are many fine moments on this disc, though, because Kaplasky is such an accomplished songstress. She takes us on an emotional roller coaster, one that holds so many familiar ups and downs. Hope is followed by despair, gain by loss. Appropriately, though, the title track offers a grain of optimism. It's a couple's 10-year anniversary and she's looking back at their first moment together and, despite the intervening years where so much can go wrong, her love is still strong. It's a poignant opener, but one that somehow defines the possibilities that life holds and that Kaplansky is here to remind us of. - -- Ed Silverman (Millburn, N.J.) - --submitted by Jay Votel (votels@dmv.com) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 17:31:27 +0100 From: "jenny.frog" Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Steve Earle, Lucy Hi everyone, Steve E makes up most of my memories of being little (well, littler than i am now anyway...). My dad blasted 'Exit O', 'Guitar Town' and 'The Hard Way' wherever he went...'Sweet Little 66' still brings back really clear memories of sitting in the backseat of our car asking 'when will we be there'...so i was born a steve addict. My favourite steve song has to be...hmm...either 'someday' or that one that's last on 'Exit O', damn it, i cna't remember its name. you see, i learnt to sing steve before i could read the names of the songs...Man, i can still hear my 4-year-old bro singing 'My old friend the booozzzeee' instead of 'blues'...and even now when we listen to 'fearless heart', i'm just waiting on my dad to say 'could we jst rewind that ooonne more time? huh? pleasseee....?'when it finishes. Yep, lucy's right, steve's god. that's for sho'. or maybe he's bigger....hmmm.... jenny*, somewhere out there ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 20:20:11 -0400 (EDT) From: witch baby Subject: [lucy-list] Emmylou (NLC) On Tue, 31 Aug 1999, Joe H.
