In other music-related news, I went to a concert last Thursday...with my parents. ^^; So no cool points for me. Lucinda Williams opening for John Mellencamp at Jones Beach -- my mother is a big Lucinda Williams fan, but her set was not very good, for various tiresome reasons I won't go into. But she did play my favorite song, plus two songs from the upcoming album I really liked, so it wasn't a total waste.
What I always thought was funny about Lucinda Williams (besides the fact that she is my mother's age, while the rest of the band are tall young men in their late twenties/early thirties), is that she sings the lower part of what should be two-part harmonies, and either the high harmony (which would normally be the melody) is missing, or one of those late twenties/early thirties guys is singing it.
Speaking of two-part harmonies, I uploaded these for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
petronia and uh, forgot to share:
Jayhawks - Blue Earth
Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall
Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass
Jayhawks - Sound of Lies
Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music
See this entry. I would feel worse about putting the albums up, but CDs by this "Americana" band are out of print in the US. (They are in print in the UK.)
