Another featured artist from O My Soul | LUCINDA WILLIAMS ‘Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor'
Listen/purchase: Make Me Down a Pallet on Your Floor by Lucinda Williams
Another great choice from O My Soul this song means a lot to me, first heard by Mississippi John Hurt it is an ancient trad arr blues classic and made all her own here by Lucinda who has that age wearied voice that can pull off anything I reckon . . . . . .

NEWSROOM: Lucinda Williams, Van Dyke Parks, Lily Allen, Talking Heads,
ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS
BIG O
NEWSROOM
LUCINDA WILLIAMS, A STROKE SURVIVOR
Speaking in a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 68-year-old singer-songwriter said she spent five weeks in the hospital after a blood clot developed on the right side of her brain in November of last year. A few days before Thanksgiving, Williams was in her bathroom getting ready to take a shower when she had trouble keeping her balance. She stumbled and struggled to stand up straight and couldn't walk. "An ambulance came and got me and we told them not to put the big siren on. We didn't want to alarm the neighbours or anything," she explained. "But they put the siren on."
Williams spent a week in the intensive care unit where doctors discovered a blood clot on the right side of her brain, which affected the left side of her body. She was then transferred to a rehabilitation centre to begin a month-long treatment of therapy. Williams was discharged on December 21 and is now undergoing physical therapy. She now walks with a cane, is unable to play guitar, and has lingering pain in both her left arm and left leg. However, thanks to the lack of brain damage, doctors expect her to make a full recovery.
She said, "I do, like, walking, with the cane and they watch me and see how well I'm doing. And then I have to do hand and arm exercises. It's really about regaining my strength and mobility, and range of motion. That's what they work with me on."
She added: "The main thing is I can still sing. I'm singing my ass off, so that hasn't been affected. Can't keep me down for too long."
NEW VAN DYKE PARKS
'Van Dyke Parks Orchestrates Verónica Valerio: Only in America' teams the musical iconoclast with singer-songwriter-harpist Verónica Valerio for a new, four-song EP. It merges the sensibilities of the Mississippi-born hero of California music with the Veracruz, Mexico native to create a miniature suite that very much reflects the times in which we're living. Valerio reached out to Parks to initiate the pairing. Valerio, who studied music in Veracruz and New York, reflects in the press release, "Two years ago, I wrote Van Dyke because he is a sincere person, a selfless communicator, polite, a fighter and great artist." Parks returns the compliments: "Her music got me out of the hall of mirrors of pop culture which is unavoidable as we turn on a radio or television. This was my exit... the record I wanted to do with this girl in quarantine! Never met her. But I have a longstanding love for Hispanic music - I think it's the moment to be part of the 'browning of America': crossing the aisle, learning the lingo. It has idiomatic value, a supreme unimportance to the value of profit." Parks orchestrated all of the music; Valerio sings in Spanish. Klaus Voormann has provided the striking cover artwork for Van Dyke Parks Orchestrates Verónica Valerio: Only in America. Due on June 11 from BMG/Modern Recordings in vinyl and digital formats.

Lucinda Williams - Boston 1999 - Floppy Boot Stomp
LUCINDA WILLIAMS
FLOPPY BOOT STOMP
Gal's getting on bit now but this is fine fine set from Floppy Boot Stomp back some 22 years ago (sic! I know!) and quite amongst the best ROIOs for recording quality I have ever heard . . . . . when was the last time you could hear the band walking onto the stage!? Staggering stuff. She had Richard Thompson as support opening act here and name checks him as one of her favourite artists which endears her to those who may not know her work over here quite so much as in the States but heck this gal can pen a tune and rock with the best!

The mix on this puppy is excellent! It is not a monitor mix but the actual house mix so all instruments are present and in full stereo. The clarity of the recording is remarkable: you can hear the band's footsteps as they first walk on stage as well as onstage patter between the musicians.
[All of Lucinda's song intros have been given their own track ID's so that they may be skipped over during playback or completely edited out when burning to CD.]
