Standout track on an album

In reacquainting myself over the past 24 hours with all the Lucinda Williams albums in my possession, I find myself unable to get enough of her song "Essence" off the album of the same title. A killer song, and maybe her sexiest lyrics and vocal ever. And that’s saying something!

recently I was reading about her re-releasing the "Sweet old World" title.
Have you compared it to the older disc?
Happy Listening!

jafant, I too just read about Lucinda re-recording the Sweet Old World album. The new title is This Old Sweet World, and it's at the top of my "Buy" list. I also need to catch up with a couple older titles, The Ghosts Of Highway 20 and Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone. I lost interest in Lucinda after what were for me a couple of lackluster albums, but I do believe she's back!

Have quite a few of Lucinda's recordings, though not Essence, as it turns out.   Some gaps to be filled.  

FWIW, two standout tracks for me are "Pineola" from Sweet Old World and "Unsuffer Me" from West.

Same with me, gh. I have SOW, but skipped West after not liking the couple before it. Perhaps I was being hasty!

Hey bdp - I personally think West is a strong album.  The good news, as you know, with Tidal and Spotify and the like, you can check out an entire album and decide if it's a "must buy" for you...more critical for folks committed to vinyl, I suppose.   I have not kept up with LW after "Blessed" (which I like).  Need to hear Spirit/Bone and Ghosts/Highway.
