Hello, all you who wander the Virtual World, I haven’t posted a ‘picks’ in a long while, so those seven or eight of you who asked me to please do a new picks post, here you are:
MUSIC I’ve been listening still, and often, to The King Is Dead, the Decemberists latest record. It’s so lyrically dense and literate, and so melodic that I haven’t tired of it on...

BOOK I read my ex-husband Rodney Crowell’s memoir, ‘Chinaberry Sidewalks’ and was very moved by it. I did approach it with some trepidation, as no matter how friendly a divorce there are always little stings and arrows that are remembered and exaggerated, but I had nothing to fear. The book is almost entirely about his childhood, and his upbringing near Houston, TX in a...

Hello friends, I’ve been on vocal rest for nearly a month now, for a vocal polyp, sometimes called a ‘singer’s node’. It’s an occupational hazard, and comes partly from over-use. I had to cancel or reschedule a few concerts, so it’s vexing, but not serious. My vocal doc is sure we can resolve this with rest and steroids.
My inner life has been strange during this time. The combination of...

Happy New Year!
Hello Friends,
Happy New Year! I slept so much over the holidays. It was divine. I think I was paying off a sleep debt that went back to October, 2009.
But the engine is starting up again, and concerts are on the books. Mr. L and I head over to Scotland at the end of January for a Bob Dylan tribute concert on the 24th, and our own show on the 25th. Check out those dates here:...

World Domination plan in progress
Hello from near and far,
The last month I’ve been zig-zagging to and fro, performing, talking about my book, signing and singing. I played the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in San Francisco in early October and it was a real highlight of the month. I saw old friends Bonnie Raitt and Nick Lowe, neither of whom I had seen in years. Bonnie and I did a little catching up. It’s such a...

MUSIC This month I have been listening to Cory Chisel, The Low Anthem and a lot of Bob Dylan. I never really registered Dylan’s ‘Modern Love’ when it came out, but I have circled back to it, and enjoyed it tremendously. I love all the references, the mash-up of folk and blues, the re-imagining of great and seminal source material. Plus he’s singing well. Cory...

Submission from Eva:
Hi. I’m only 20, so I still ive with my parents. I’d only like to tell one thing about them. They never want me to do things how I don’t want to do them. They always say that they want to see me happy and smiled. I’m glad of it. I know that they’ll always encourage me. It’s all. PS: I’m sorry for my English. It’s not my native...

Submission to 'The List' from Taylor: Homilies/...
Submission from Taylor:
My father was a southern gent big on Homilies. His favorite when to bark at us four girls was, “even a bling pig can find an acorn sometimes!” (that was supposed to mean, we might get lucky and succeed.” ) I ended up writing a song of one of his homilies. I had pasted to every wall of every room, dorm, apartment and house I lived in.
when things go...

My Mom passed away at 83 last year- she was always young at heart and she loved music. We shared many concerts over the years including Willie Nelson, Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie Nicks. I miss her cooking so much but treasure the recipes she shared with me. A summer favorite was fried corn which is kind of a cream-style corn. Not sure if she called it fried corn because she fried the bacon before...

Submission from Hannah: what my mother (Rosanne...
I could never begin to record all that has been passed down to me from my mother. The first and most obvious is a family that while is not my own through birth, is very much mine. I have no memory of my mom not being my mom, my aunts not being my aunts, my grandparents not being my grandparents, and so on. And from having grown up in this family, the belief that loyalty, love and commitment to one...

submission: Far Out!!!!!!!!
The artwork on new album is just perfect. Also…I went like todully bonkers when I discovered Ms. Cash will be playing in Iowa City next year. And about the passing down of family treasure……This actually is a story about my first love. I gave him a palm tree 30 years ago, and after a painful split, didn’t see him again for 27 years. Imagine my heartfelt wonder and surprise...
