Lucinda Williams during her 2011 solo show at the Dakota/ Photo by Jules Ameel

The other night, a Dakota Jazz Club patron asked proprietor Lowell Pickett what his favorite show there was. Pickett rattled off a list of shows, including Lucinda Williams. In fact, he's so fond of Williams that he's extended her return engagement this winter by two gigs.

The Dakota has announced Williams shows for Feb. 4 and 6. Previously announced were her performances for Feb. 1 and 2. She is expected to be accompanied by a guitarist as opposed to solo, which was the case for three intimate nights in February 2011.

Tickets, priced at $50 and $60, are on sale at www.dakotacooks.com
