Gurf Morlix


I recently heard some of his songs and he reminded me of Leonard Cohen only better, more compelling. At first thought it sounded like raw in the gutter type music, but the songs just draw you in.

You’re welcome. Note that the youtube  ACL performances I mentioned with Gurf are from 1989.

In retrospect, I guess I should've said his playing with her is "exemplary" or "provides a text book example of how to back up a singer".  The best words don't always strike me, immediately. ;o)

Lucky you!  

The closest experience I've had to that was seeing the Hot Band (without EmmyLou) in a tiny cafe in Santa Barbara in the late 70's, with Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee and Frank Reckard in attendance. 

 

Cool @stuartk! Speaking of Albert Lee, I saw him live in a small club in Ventura, just south of Santa Barbara. I never managed to see him playing with The Everly Brothers, damnit.

It's always a treat to catch such greats in small venues. I saw Albert at a small theater in Grass Valley (Center for the Arts), sitting in with a local band. He also did a couple solo tunes on piano. BTW, I lived in Santa Barbara '76 - '82. That town was a paradise for music lovers. My wife and I and all our friends lived in little shacks, but the music scene was great.  Eventually, the high cost of living there  compelled us to move away but it was fun for awhile. 

Whatever positive expertise he brought to Lucinda's work is a positive.
