[John Iwaniszek <not AT hotmail.com>]

She did a very langorous rendition of "Stray Papers".  The band was great 
and, while I don't know who her guitar man was, the rock strains accenting 
her lyrics were a tangy counterpoint to her sweet voice and complemented 
the nostalgic lyrics.

I often think of her as occupying a place somehwere on the happy side of 
Lucinda Williams.  She's not as wounded or wise as Lucinda, but she still 
pulls my heart in her direction.
