Rickie Lee Jones has been added as a headliner

I just got an e-mail from Swallow Hill saying that "Rickie Lee Jones has been added as a headliner" and celebrating that fact.

Somewhat less prominent in the message was the fact that "Due to an unforeseen family emergency, Shawn Colvin will be unable to perform at this event."

I'm not a huge fan of Shawn Colvin, and I realize that problems come up and that Swallow Hill is doing their best to make things "right" and that they want to let us know about it with a positive "spin" but man does it feel like they are pissing down our backs and telling us that it's raining...

Was Rickie already on the bill?

If she was already on the bill and is doing a longer set, I agree that seems like sort of a funny way to announce it. On the bright side, maybe there will be some kind of collaboration with Leo Kottke -- She produced an album of his: Peculiaroso

she wasn't on the bill

Yeah, she wasn't on the bill originally. It was a replacement for Shawn.

In my quick research I saw that she had collaborated with Leo - which had me hopeful...
