Saw Lucinda williams in a club in DC the other night. I've dug her CDs for a few years but now I can attest that this woman is an amazing singer and performer as well. Anyone else here into Lucinda?

Her last album was fantastic!

I waited to see if anyone on the org ever went outside the Prince related musical style "box" to listen to someone like her. Lucinda played for about 2 hrs and, from one song to the next, she blended so many styles my head was spinning - I sensed the Stones, the Doors, Joni, Johnny Cash, Koko Taylor, the Allman Brothers, and many more all mixed up and reconstructed in her own way. By all means, see her when she comes your way.

what's the song that goes:

Got a big chain around my neck
Coming down like a train wreck...
It's over, I know it
But I can't let go

That's Lucinda, ain't it? LOVE that song. Heard it today at lunch.

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is one of my alltime favorite albums..> Her last 2 haven't connected as much with me, but i still like them. Especially the title track from "Essence".

Lucinda is incredible. I own everything she's done and seen her twice live. There is no one like her. I do believe all her albums are must haves...

She along with Emmylou Harris were trailblazers in going against 'Nashville' standards and simply doing their own thing. Both are amazingly talented and have been influenced by too many styles to just stick to one.

Though they have guested on each others albums and on various projects...I hope for the day Lu and Emmy do an entire album (or live show) together!!!

I could die after that.

Favorite Lucinda quote from "I Lost It"..

I dont want anything...if I have to fake it...

peace
