Indeed she is. I'm not sure what she has in the works at the moment, but
she's on the new Dixon record, as always. And sounds wonderful, as always.
By the way, Don's new one is marvelous. It's less hooky than anything
he's done before - a lot more introspective and thoughtful. He has this
knack for distilling the essences of things, though - in this case, an
entire CD about the lives of rooms. It took a few listens for it to take
hold, but I'm still hearing something new with every spin at this point.

"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns
with the lights shining sideways when the night is down,
or going in strange places with a dog nosing before you
and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where
you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every
shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty,
hungry stomach failing from your heart."
