>**Cry Cry Cry** Saturday December 5, 8pm UW Kane Hall
>COMPOSED OF Lucy Kaplansky, Richard Shindell, and Dar Williams
>
>You will not want to miss out on this rare opportunity to see three of the
most compelling singer-songwriters of the 90's peforming together!soni The project afforded each artist an opportunity to take a break from their solo careers and record songs by other artists, songs they love, ranging from Appalachian-style country to rock to the gamut of American music in between.
>
>Shindell, Kaplansky and Williams joined together to form Crubtitle for the
album could be, 'It's the song, stupid,'" jokes Shindell.
>
>Shindell, Kaplansky and Williams joined together to form Cry Cry Cry as a
side project to celebrate the astonishing revitalization in contemporary songwriting they have witnessed as they tour the U.S. and Canada. "This has been a tremendously exciting project, getting the opportunity to interpret songs Lucy, Richhard, and I have heard in our travels," says Williams. "Songs we've heard at festivals, at clubs... even on the radio driving from gig to gig."
>
>For each "Fall on Me" (by R.E.M.), there is a song by a virtual unknown,
such as "Northern Cross" by Leslie Smith, a home-maker and part-time performer from Pittsburgh, who records for Waterbug Records, the tiny label on which Williams began her career. Other artists whose songs appear on the album include Greg Brown, Ron Sexsmith, Texan Robert Earl Keen, and Canadian James Keelaghan.
>
>The album was produced by Darleen Wilson and Alan Williams with
>arrangements by Larry Campbell, the touring string wizard for Bob Dylan
and k.d. lang. The songwriters whose tunes appear on the album will be invited to appear as special guests on the tour, in a rotating basis from city to city. It is not known if R.E.M. will accept the invitation, but Cliff Eberhardt, whose song "Memphis" appears on the album will be opening the Seattle show.
