On this USofA I'll featured a few tunes from Lucinda Williams. This legendary singer/songwriter turns 72 on January 26th. I will also feature a couple of covers by local artists like Trampled By Turtles and Pam Linton, and I have a new song from the late Kinky Friedman. He finished an album before he passed away last year.
