From Laura's notes -

What You Said (Jenifer Jackson)
Jenifer is another great New York-based writer that I’ve been fortunate to get to know, and this song is from her wonderful 2001 album Birds. It has a breezy joy that to me is perfect for summer, and Kenny Kosek contributes some lovely fiddle work along with Rob Burger on accordion.

I got Jenifer's album Birds to hear the song and it's great!
Thanks Laura - that's another 'new' name you've turned me on too.

I've ordered a Wynn Stewart compilation to hear Wishful Thinking. I'm having trouble tracking down Lucinda Williams recording of Letters - can anyone help?

Did Lucinda Williams actually record "Letters"?

For some reason I'd thought it was an unreleased song.

According to the song-by-song bio she posted, Laura seems to think it was unreleased as well:


A friend played me a rough demo of this unreleased Lucinda song from her late seventies New York period and it really struck a chord with me.

I belive that there is a Lucinda Williams demo or live recording of Letters, but it has never been released.

I knew the Lucinda Williams recording was unreleased - I was kind of hoping that someone would point me towards a source for bootlegs of her stuff. Good to see everyone here is so law abiding!
