It's the first ACL show from 1989 -- where her hair is blonde and she's playing with the original band. Gurf Morlix on guitar. 

I had it on DVD at one point.

The complete performance was taken down, apparently and I can only find these:

Mary Gauthier is very talented but what dark material!  

I tend to think of Gurf as mostly a sideman  but clearly I need to explore further...

EmmyLou Harris: "Together Again":

"There are only two kind of men walking this earth, those who are in love with Emmylou and those who have yet to meet her"

Thanks, @stuartk  .  I would have loved to seen her back then.  As I typed previously, it wasn't until sometime after SOW I discovered her.  Actually, it was because of her vocal work on Terry Allen's Human Remains (specifically it was the track Room To Room that I first heard off of that) that started my obsession.  But back then I was too stupid to check the credits and see whose voice that was.  So it wasn't until I bought Steve Earle/I Feel Alright that I made the connection.  And then I bought every Lucinda CD I could find, which were far and few between back then.

So I didn't get her "White Album" until it was reissued and released the same time as Car Wheels.

@immatthewj 

My introduction to her was "Car Wheels..."

I don't recall whether I bought the "white album" before or after having seen the ACL broadcast. I have the 2CD version that includes live performances. 

These two remain my favorite L. Williams recordings.
