Incredible song. I wish they would put this album on iTunes.

@adscribe I think the original self titled CD that this song came from may be out of print. You can buy this concert DVD on Amazon. It is called Lucinda Williams - Live from Austin, TX '89. The whole concert is great.

This is one of the finest songs ever written.

This song is a 3 minute gem of perfection, that is filled with complex, poetic words and images, and tells its story simply and beautifully with FANTASTIC music, her beautiful voice, in a 3 minutes gift from g-d....

@FXMAN66 - Right. I'm sure Harrison felt the same way about the Shirelles (or whoever wrote "He's So Fine".) It's usually done unconsciously, and when discovered, denied.

@bammbamm12 F'n please tell me you are kidding!!!! it would be a cold day in hell before this band pilfered from Toto.

[FXMAN66]

@Johnny5Bench Right on man!!!

i guess you would have to include me with the folks who would never listen to toto and i cannot really understand how such songs could have been connected. which means that yes, your exquisite irony was too nuanced for my tiny brain. tee hee.

I'll try again -- try to follow along this time. I think I detect traces of Styx's Mr. Roboto in Lucinda's song Right in Time. Oh, oh, there it is. Yes, definitely -- in the bridge. And the chorus for her song Essence? REO Speedwagon's lawyers should be contacting her soon; surely she owes royalties for her liberal use of Can't Fight This Feeling.

I don't know what's worse: that I actually have to explain that I'm being sarcastic, or that there are people out there willing to defend crap as horrible as Africa?!?! Wow! I thought anyone who had the good taste to listen to Lucinda Williams would be immune to the utter cheese of Toto (I mentioned Starship because that's considered the worst song of the '80s in some circles -- surely Africa is in the Top 10). Are you a member of Toto? That's the only way to explain your statement.

@adscribe Glad I got the CD when I did, then. The bonus version of "Lucinda Williams" had an acoustic version of this song played for a radio appearance that was even better than the recorded version.

[aeschre]

somebody said that lucinda was the greatest living songwriter we have today.  this song convinced me that's true.

@Johnny5Bench wtf?

[aeschre]

@bammbamm12 what and the hell is wrong with you?
