Best Covers

I’ll check them out.

I recall seeing Lauderdale with Lucinda Williams on her second ACL show that also featured a very young-looking Kenny Vaughan.

I bought "On Your Side" at one point but it didn’t find it very engaging. Maybe I need to give him another try.

I love Gurf’s playing with Lucinda. His playing on her first ACL show is a stellar display of how to tastefully and effectively support a vocalist.:

I agree that the Fabulous Superlatives are deserving of their name!  

@stuartk: I too love Gurf’s playing. I sometimes saw him in the Guitar Center on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, buying guitar strings. He has done some great producing other than Lucinda, including Mary Gauthier. He has also made a few nice albums of his own, available on CD only.

There’s a guy in SoCal who is similar to Gurf, a fine singer and Telecaster/steel guitar player: Rick Shea. I saw him live dozens of times when I lived there, and subbed for his regular drummer for one show in 2008. One of those fifty dollar gigs. 😉

You belong to me sung by Kate Rusby.

@stuartk  , I am a Lucinda fan going back to sometime in between Sweet old World and Car Wheels and I do remember Mr. Lauderdale and Mr. Vaughan, but what iis the ACL show that you alluded to?

@immatthewj 

It's the first ACL show from 1989 -- where her hair is blonde and she's playing with the original band. Gurf Morlix on guitar. 

I had it on DVD at one point.

The complete performance was taken down, apparently and I can only find these:
