Car Wheels On A Gravel Phone.

Just to be clear, I usually hate bloody Voicemails.

Why?

Because if someone is skipping the Email and/or avoiding the Textmobile they're very likely flogging pure junk or, worse, it's something so important that it will have to be dealt with immediately.

Anyway...

A couple of weeks ago, on a random Monday night in late June, I got a Voicemail that was coming from (and I kid you not) inside the Commodore Ballroom.

Ya.

That's right.

My oldest kid, Bigger E., was at the Lucinda Williams show and she wanted me to hear Ms. W. tell the story of how the life and times of Blaze Foley led her to write 'Drunken Angel'.

It was mostly garbled, but great stuff regardless.

All of which is just a round about way of telling you that E. took a little time out of her busy musical schedule recently so that she and I could sit down in the living room and record a few songs.

As you might have guessed, things always go best when she takes the vocal lead.

Here's her version another LW favourite...
