Did it list the dates?

I might be able to schedule a "business" trip up to NY for at least one of those. I have only seen her three times and would love to catch one of those. Wow!

Thanks Renny

Williams performing complete albums at fall shows

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Lucinda Williams fans will soon have a chance to hear the songwriter perform five of her eight studio albums in their entirety, one night at a time.

On September 5-6 and 8-10, Williams headlines at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles and will perform in New York September 29-30 at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza and October 2-4 at Town Hall.

The first night of each five-night run will kick off with a performance of 2003's "World Without Tears." "Essence" from 2001, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" from 1998, "Sweet Old World" from 1990 and "Lucinda Williams" from 1988 will be played on subsequent nights.

The album-focused sets will be followed by a more traditional set from Williams and her band (guitarist Doug Pettibone, bassist David Sutton and drummer Butch Norton), including cuts from her most recent album, "West." Tickets for all shows go on sale Saturday (July 21).

"West" bowed at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Tastemakers tally in March.

Thanks Linda.

Now I just have to find some justification on getting up there at that time. Gonna have to get creative.

Town Hall is a great, intimate place for a concert, basically a Broadway theater. I'm less fond of Irving Plaza, despite its hip reputation. I'm just too old to stand these days!

Hey Rich, if you're comin' to NYC, lemme know! Jimbo Lunch now being served! :ohyes:

Very cool and thanks. I might take you up on that. I'll start planning to see what can be done. I know I have a for-sure trip to Vegas in mid Oct so maybe I can hook up with DanO on that one.
