Lucinda Williams Fans?

The great shows were when she still lived in Austin and was playing locally a lot with her band. It was one of the greatest bands I have ever seen live. I am really lucky to have had Gurf Morlix play on my last record (he was her long time guitar player and produced (IMHO) her best stuff). She still usually tours with a good band, but the early-mid '90's stuff was unbelievable live.

how about her dvd video - anyone own one? - recommend it?

Big Lucinda Williams fan. I have seen her a couple of times and would go see her anytime. I am looking forward to picking up this live CD and giving it a listen.

There is something inescapable to her voice. And I mean that literally. It is not smooth and her songs are often not pleasant, but her voice is so compellingly raw that you just have to sit and listen. I played "Just Wanted to See You So Bad" the other day to start my run, and ended up letting the whole cd play. It is hardly exercise music, but I just couldn't turn it off. Her singing makes you want to prepare her a good homecooked meal, serve it with a tall R.C. cola, and let her sleep in a bed with freshly cleaned, line-dried linens.
