It's that time of year when the Brighton Festival brochure lands on the doormat...
Not a programme that has immediately filled me with excitement this time (the one Brian Eno curated two years ago remains a high-water mark for me), but I was delighted to see that Lucinda Williams will be playing at the Dome on 15 May.
One of the classic voices in country music and a strong, strong songwriter: here's one of her very best love songs, so suffused with desire you can taste it, 'Right In Time'...
And,of course, she has a fine track on Oh Michael, Look What You've Done too. Have I mentioned the Michael Chapman compilation before?
