This final track is incredible ~ as Helen says ~ for the "poetry of song"
but, ~ I still feel lyrics can only ever be half of the true poetry of song.

Lucinda Williams wrote 'Sweet Old World' - one of my favourites which
Emmylou sings as well. Glad to be in here where poets associate with the
poetry of song, esp. the country voice of soul. I like 'Broken Butterflies'
on Lucinda's album. oh hell I like them all. Emmylou Harris' albums,
Wrecking Ball and Red Dirt Girl, Gram Parsons as well.
- all nourishment for the soul.
