Lydia Luce: Live Sessions You Won't Want to Miss

By Mackenzie Fey

"Sausalito"

This video was shot in an old Volkswagen Van on the west coast of California with the Westy Sessions. Perfect, right? I don't ever get tired of this song, and you neither will you. Needless to say this is my absolute favorite.

This Westy Session features Lydia Luce-one of our favorites-performing "Sausalito" in a 1986 VW Wolfsburg Weekender Syncro. She is accompanied by Martin Bisits on guitar and Hillary Reynolds on backup vocals. Luce is a formally-trained viola player, working as a studio musician with such talent as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Annie Lennox, and others.

 

"Love You True"

Written for Lydia's older brother and his bride as a wedding gift, this song captures every essence of love anyone could ask for. Simply put, you can't find this gift on any ordinary wedding registry.

"Blue Ocean"

Here we are able to see just a portion on the amount of talent Miss Lydia Luce has. Here she is accompanied by the harmonies of Zach Torres, along with her enchanting viola in another Westy Sessions.
