Lucinda Williams Fans?

Also I just went to Amazon and ordered it! Now I can't wait!

Ncary, your experience mimmicks her new disk. Great stuff, but I still want to touch her soul and save her from her pain. I just love her!

I first became aware of Lucinda Williams from Mary Chapin Carpenters cover of "Passionate Kisses". Found a 1989 cd of Williams own version with four other tracks and was hooked. Dont know exactly what it is about her but she has a special talent. I admit to being addicted to "Car Wheels" for some time.
I had seen her on 'Sessions' and 'City Limits' and her voice can be a little strained, but the performance is what rekindled my interest in her music.I think her 'Sessions' show was the one that really cooked as I recall. Im not impressed by her vocals on some tracks on the new release, but thats live music and Williams has never been about her singing style as much as the attitude and emotion she delivers. And the song writing. And she can rock. What more can you ask for?

I've been a big fan for more than 10 years. Lucinda is a truely unique talent and a bit of an acquired taste.

I saw her in the fall of 2003 and I was against the front barrier about 20 ft directly in front of her. The show started out very slow and I was less than impressed. During the second song, a photographer snapped a flash picture from the pit and Lucinda stopped and gave him some major $hit! It was awesome. Immediately after that, she wicked it up a couple of notches and the show was fantastic. It seemed like she needed some catalyst to get her pumped up.

Talking about an artist that wears her emotion on her sleeve........That's Lucinda.

Enjoy,

Saw Lucinda Williams Sept 12, 2001, the day after 9/11. I'd been listening to her albums for a couple of years. The thing that impressed me about the show is how hard she rocks! Two guitars and wall of sound. She was not at all reticent, talked about wondering whether she should do the show, and her fear that we were going to end up fighting the wrong enemy. She did a soulful version of Dylan's "Masters of War". A great concert.
