Lucinda Williams helped me get through the tragic death of my daughter's bff. They were like peas and carrots since the day they met, they were 2 years old and played through the fence in the back yard. But no fence kept them apart. And they had 12 wonderful years. She was like my daughter. Thanks for the heart therapy. God, music, and tears only thing that got me through it.
It is such a cool little part when Jim Lauderdale sings on that one part. It makes it sound like a chorus and peak of the song, when it's really the same as all the other verses.
@bryanl789 Hey, Imus introduced me to"Are You Alright" 5 years ago, immediately after i lost my 29 y.o. son.
that song + 'Mama You Sweet"hit me like a ton of bricks. is that what you are referring to? i already knew Car Wheels Cd, but she just keeps getting better with every new CD. I love how she always plays with different
New Lu fan.I can't believe how differnt she looks and sounds in this video than more recent cd's[ex.Greenville with Emmylou Harris]Own Car wheels,West,Honey the Fillmore and Sweet Old World.Her voice and cursing now remind me of a Cajun Janis Joplin.What happened?
What do you mean what happened? People don't look the same after 20 years. Do you? If you've followed her, you'd know she writes from the heart...and could not give a piss about being PC. Nobody like her.
I agree she's a major talent,have already bought 5cds abd will continue.I wasn't crticizing,only wondering about her.The videos I mentioned were 7 not 20 years apart.
When she is on she raises the skin up off my scalp and she always seems to have the best players imaginable on board and it sort of kills me that she isnt undestood as the artist that she is. Funny how that works.
Lucinda Williams is always likely to put together a band of musicians 'behind her' that hold no second chair. At the same time she brings a pitch perfect sense of American music that never fails to bring us home.
In Orchestras and Bands each member has his,or her Chair - the order of your chair designates your skill position amongst your peers - First, Second, Third, Fourth. So if you are First Chair trombone you have demonstrated the fact and are considered by all the best trombone player - to say no one holds second chair means they are all "excellent"-first rate musicians. DA BOMB!
Lucinda and Buick 6 came to NorCal this past fall and they were amazing! Buick 6 opened for her, played a tight set for almost an hour and then backed her up for another hour and a half. They were as high energy at the end of the show as they were when they played their first song. Amazing show!
lucindas music will be enjoyed many years after all of these new "janey come lately's "are long gone. play on lucinda theres no substitute for the real thing.
Nice to read that this great music is being used as a way to heal one's soul. I couldn't agree more.

Lucinda sure knows how to pick great
musicians. The guitar work of Kenny and
John just doesn't get any better.

Very cool. this song is about the great, but relatively unknown Arkansas poet Frank Stanford, or more accurately about his death.

"Raised in Pineola, his momma believed in the Pentacost.
She got a preacher to say some prayers so his soul wouldnt get lost."
Check out:Fiddle, Jim Lauderdale-his solo and other band stuff is great.
