We here at WFUV have been HUGE fans of Steve Earle for many years now. We've been lucky enough to have him in our studios a couple of times; most recently back in 2009 when he released his album, "Townes" a musical tribute to his late friend and mentor, Townes Van Zandt. You can hear that Words & Music Session with Steve Earle in our archives.
The artists who've signed on to play the Holiday Cheer for FUV benefit this year are not only great artists in themselves, they happen to make some beautiful music together. Not only have they played together in various combinations, but you could shuffle up their songs and have a heck of a mix.
So why not make a heck of a mix? Here it is through Spotify:
Lucinda Williams performing “World Without Tears” —
Here's a leading example of why Lucinda is so revered for her songwriting, the title track to her 2003 album World Without Tears. The lyrics really say it all:
Lucinda Williams is headling this year's FUV Holiday Cheer. But who else is performing? Well, you'll have to stay tuned to find out as we make the announcement later this morning. So today's question of the day is about songs that ask the question, "Who?" And in case you miss the big announcement, subscribe to our enewsletter to receive all updates about FUV and Holiday Cheer!
