"I didn't wish to accept to be in it," Lucinda Williams says, anecdotic her belief for her first-ever music video. So, for the heartwrenching "Copenhagen," she enlisted Dave Willis, co-creator and administrator of Cartoon Network's Squidbillies, who wrote and directed a high-concept adventure of a man whose activity is adored by scientists with one catch: he have to now cope with activity as an abiding apprentice (it's not all it's absurd up to be).
The adventure is not absolutely what Williams was apperception if she wrote the ballad, about the night she abstruse about the afterlife of her backward administrator and acquaintance Frank Callari if she was on bout in Denmark in 2007. "We had that night off so we were accepting accessible to go out and get some banquet and we absolved down from the auberge to this little abode and the snow was advancing down," she says. "It was all actual accurate of the song. It's the aggregate of the account of his afterlife and getting so far abroad over there."
But she's captivated with Willis's interpretation. "I was surprised. If I apprehend it, I thought, 'Ok, the apprentice affair or whatever.' But then, I got it. I tend to be added literal, [wanting to] accomplish a little cine affectionate of thing. It's air-conditioned both ways."
Williams attempted authoritative videos in the Nineties, but they consistently fell through. She remembers one affair area a administrator told her her account were too dark. "I said say what about Nirvana's video?,' and he said 'Well, that's Nirvana. They can do that … It was absolutely harder to breach into the video apple aback then. I assumption it's easier now because you got the online thing."
Next, Williams will arise on The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, an anthology organized by Bob Dylan containing exceptional songs by the country abundant accomplished by Jack White, Norah Jones and Levon Helm (it's set for absolution October 4th). Williams hopes there will be some gigs with the artists to advance the project. "We haven't talked about it yet, but I would adulation to," she says. "It's appealing abundant a no brainer. If we could get some of the humans together, yeah, it would be great. It took about 5 years afterwards I fabricated that clue for it to appear out. We didn't apperceive what was traveling on with it for the longest time. "
