In-depth discussion of "Sara" on KUTX
Pretty cool discussion with singer-songwriter Walker Lukens talking about his love for this song on the station's "This Song" podcast:

Yep. But I wouldn't say it's the focus. More one musician 'a appreciation of the song.

Thx. I'll have to check this out. I love the song and welcome any discussion of it. For me, however, the real thrill of it is the execution of it. Lyrically, it's interesting and cryptic (a read-between-my-lines) kind of thing. Musically, it's a unique mix of folk and "pop" chords.
But the production, the vocal, and the musicianship, are outstanding. It's a hard song to sing with distinction, yet she does it. The choral block of background voices is arresting, as are the swirling jangling guitar lines. And the backing track is so well played. What a rock-solid rhythm section--and I'm including Christine in that. Even if the individual elements of the song draw on well-known features of pop and folk music, the combination of all the elements produces inimitable orchestral effects. The lushness of this song, in striking contrast to the rough, cacophonous tunes like "The Ledge" or "What Makes You Think You're the One," is one of the delights of Tusk. Almost half the songs on the album belong in an entirely different universe from the others. Meanwhile, a few of the songs--like "Think About Me" and "Angel" occupy the in-between spaces.

I read a piece recently about the lush production of Stevie and Christine's songs juxtaposed with the banging and clanging of Lindsey's, which of course was by design. I think some folks point to that as a weakness of the album, but in my view, that kind of variety is necessary for a double album. Tusk is a masterpiece, but I'm preaching to the choir here...

this is a classic example of Lindsey taking one of her repetitive songs (repeating patterns) and giving it variety through rising and falling background vocals and interesting guitar lines (and keyboard lines) propelled by the ever-fabulous rhythm section. He does the same on Gypsy.

Sara is such a great tune. Live has so many versions. I love the Deluxe Tusk version. Thanks for posting!
