I have gradually become a fan of Lucinda Williams. I already had her “World Without Tears release,” and after recently seeing her performance on Austin City Limits, I wanted to go deeper into her catalogue. I bid on “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” on eBay, and can’t stop listening to it. Although her voice is at times reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt, Ms.Williams is an original, with a literary voice that’s both observant and bittersweet. She’s a master songwriter surrounded by exceptionally good musicians, and excellent recording production values. If great lyrics, and a rich melodic style ranging from sensitive to raw is what you desire in your next music purchase, then I think you’ll like this.
Lucinda Williams has captured in song the essenece of pure rural country, She is the female "Tom Waits" of todays country music- No rhinestones , no silicon needed , Lucinda is worth a first listen because you will enjoy her cutting edge attitude forever . Few women can project and perform with true heart & soul with only a six string guitar and a place to sing- Baby you are a little on the "trashy" side ...and that is why I love ya' Baby... keep on singing your way...Lucinda Williams Rules !
This is Lucinda just before she made the "turn" from raw and scratchy moonshine Blues to what we know 10 years later as a fantastic songwriter that can blend her cigarette burned vocal style with just the right amount of metaphorical raunch. This is "no-frills" Blues without the mastered polish.
A must for all Lucinda Williams fans. Her unique style is unmistakable. She is one of the best in her genre.
