About the only thing I did last weekend was go to Union Pool for the Bloodshot Records barbecue/CMJ show to see Mary Lou Lord. She was very tired but played an excellent, heartfelt set, a few covers, a few songs from the last album, Baby Blue. It was great to see her again, and I think I am now officially on board for SXSW, just have to sort out the final details. Mary Lou has an original song, "Cold Company," on the new Bloodshot double CD compilation, For A Decade of Sin.
