Lucinda Williams

Any fans here?

I recently bought Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. I've listened to it over ten times, and each time it seems to get better and better. It's one of the most lyrically inspired americana records I've heard in a long time. And if anybody can hazard a guess at what tuning most of the slide guitar is in, I'd like to know.

I'd also recommend picking up a copy of her live at The Filmore. It's a two disc set, with Williams letting it rip on the vocals, while Doug Pettibone rips it up on the solos. Compelling listening.

I can't believe I passed up a chance to see her play live a few years back. Dumbass..

I've only got a couple of tracks of her's but I know I should get more. Bob Harris plays a lot (well he used to when I was awake at that time of night on a Saturday to listen) so I guess I've heard a few tracks that way...and I think I saw her at the Cambridge Folk Fest a number of years ago....or did I dream that?

Yes - I've got Car Wheels, Essence and West. All very good. I should get more really...

Ive got a few as well, try listening to her producer and a great guitarist in his own right, Gurf Morlix, well worth checking him out.

She's ace

Good recommendation! I just listened to about ten of his tracks, each one a blinder.

I'll have to try and find some of his records in my local record shack.

How bizarre. I've had Lake Charles going round my head all morning and then I notice this thread at the top of the page. Haven't got much of her stuff but what I do have is superb. Definitely requires further exploration!

So which album do you guys reckon I should check out after Car Wheels..? I like mostly the gritty stuff.

Of the two I have, Essence.

While you're at it, check out Kathleen Edwards too - Back To Me and Failer in particular.

I was going to suggest Kathleen as well. Been listening to her latest one in the car this week.
