with it. Nine years later, the family has relocated to Chicago. By a sheer fluke, the kid turns up, living no more than two blocks away. The authorities swoop down and return the kid to his biological parents, but things are far from being that simple. The boy grew up around what he has called his father, while his new family are strangers to him; the older son, now a teenager, has brushes with the law and behavioral problems. His adjustment to his lost brother is complicated by normal teenage churlishness, and the dad (Treat Williams) seems to expect everything to fall into place as though the family had been intact all along.

paean to desire and hope that appeared on several rock critics best-of lists the year before. In fact, it seemed like everybody was wild about Lucinda. What was it about her? The songs, full of raw emotion? The voice, exuding longing, desire, passion? All that and more. It's not like she was the new kid on the block, having released her first record in 1979 on Folkways. But her self-titled album, the year before this performance, blew the doors wide open. Maybe music fans were starving for the kind of tell-it-like-it-is honesty that Lucinda delivers in spades. As The New York Times noted, she's got her finger on her audience's pulse, a pulse that runs straight to the heart. TRACK LISTING 1. Big Red Sun Blues 2. Wild And Blue 3. Am I Too Blue 4.
