Thread Name: Lyr Req: Crazy Blue Eyes (Lucinda Williams)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lucinda Williams song -- crazy blue eyes
It couldn't hurt to try Lucinda's website; you might get a personal reply (though you might have to wait a while).

Any prolific songwriter has written many more songs than the general public ever hears, and routinely discards or "forgets" older songs as new ones replace them in their repertoire.

The '70s were quite a while ago. I knew Ms Williams in '73, when she was still going by the name "Cindy" Williams and still a teenager; she was an incredibly talented writer and performer, but I doubt that any of her work that impressed me so much back then still gets performed these days.

She left New Orleans for Dallas that summer and never came back; moved to Houston not long afterward and eventually to Austin, where she stayed for quite a while and began to establish herself.
