Personnel: Lucinda Williams (vocals, guitar); Emmylou Harris, Jim Lauderdale (vocals); Gurf Morlix, Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Charlie Sexton (guitar); John Ciambotti (bass guitar); Donald Lindley (drums). Recording information: Room & Board, Hermitage, Tennessee (1998). Williams's fans waited a long six years for this album, as Lucinda went through music business hassles and a revolving door of producers. The reward for their patience is an album full of rootsy, heartfelt observations that alternately rock and mourn. CAR WHEELS is full of songs about loss and longing, like "Metal Firecracker," "Drunken Angel" and "I Lost It," but even when she's bemoaning her own lack of happiness on the bluesy "Joy," she lets loose with so much passion that it seems inevitable she'll find her emotional center again. Produced largely by Steve Earle, CAR WHEELS is immersed in that late-'90s alt-country sound, full of slide guitar, accordion, dobro and other Americana touches. It's a tribute to Williams's unique artistic vision that she distinguishes herself from the No Depression crowd by virtue of her idiosyncratic songwriting. Full of lust, sadness and the occasional glimmer of hope, CAR WHEELS is one small step for Lucinda Williams and one giant leap for those tuned into her wavelength.

Report this review Car Wheels on a Gravel RoadReview created: 04/09/08 by: Lucinda Williams has captured in song the essenece of pure rural country, She is the female "Tom Waits" of todays country music- No rhinestones , no silicon needed , Lucinda is worth a first listen because you will enjoy her cutting edge attitude forever . Few women can project and perform with true heart & soul with only a six string guitar and a place to sing- Baby you are a little on the "trashy" side ...and that is why I love ya' Baby... keep on singing your way...Lucinda Williams Rules !

I respect her as a songwriter and love her singing - I listened to my first one so much that I finally wore it out and had to buy this one! There is not a bad song on this cd - she effortlessly goes from one subject to another and her phrasing and style are so unique that you are hooked!

Emmylou Harris? Buddy Miller? Jim Lauderdale? Then you probably already have this CD? If not, buy it. It's much more than the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album it received. Folk? Nah. In Twang We Trust. Review ID: 10000000005630280 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
