Music that You Have JUST BOUGHT, and can

......my thanks too Stereokarter-- this is one I've been waiting for. Craig

No, Paulwp, but Lucinda just played here in Toronto At Massey Hall and got great reviews...missed her though...rats! So I saw the release at Tower Record and bought it on spec.

Colm, I was kidding. Many of us have named the "Lucinda Williams" (white cover reissued on Koch) or "Car Wheels. . ." among our favorite cds. Nice of you to call attention to the new one.

I intend to buy this new one when I make my next Amazon order or stumble into a store. I read a good review of it somewhere too, but the way I feel about the "Lucinda Williams" cd, I'll buy anything else she comes out with from now until the end of time. It's one of my 5 or 6 favorite albums.

Sounds like a good one (called "Essence", right?). I just saw her (and Kasey Chambers) last week, and her new tunes (as well as her old) sounded great. Terrific song writer. She must be doing pretty well; she's traveling with some really fine, versatile musicians. She's also beyond having to sell her CDs in the lobby; otherwise I coulda bought the new one then. Rocked the house with a 10-12 minute, rave-up version of "Joy." She came out looking like a blonde Chrissie Hyndes with a cowboy hat -- black leather pants and boots, black Deborah Harry t-shirt, sparkly necklace and a little glitter around here eyes. It was an "on" night. The crowd was alive, and Lucinda and the band clearly enjoyed their gig. Lucky us, we got three encores.

I just picked up this Lucinda Williams CD (as noted by Jayboard, it's titled "Essense"), and it's certainly destined to become a favorite of mine-- great music, and well recorded. I liked the track "Get Right with God", what do others think of it? Craig
