Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams (CD, Jun-1998, Mercury)

I fell for Lucinda Williams when I heard her version of "Gentle On My Mind" and the end (credits) of Talladega Nights. I just had to have more of songs. CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD is a great CD, I love her singing, and writing. I would recommend it to anyone who likes good ole soft singing from a lovely woman.

I listen to her on outlaw radio. I like her style of music. This CD has a good selection of her songs

I have gradually become a fan of Lucinda Williams. I already had her “World Without Tears release,” and after recently seeing her performance on Austin City Limits, I wanted to go deeper into her catalogue. I bid on “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” on eBay, and can’t stop listening to it. Although her voice is at times reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt, Ms.Williams is an original, with a literary voice that’s both observant and bittersweet. She’s a master songwriter surrounded by exceptionally good musicians, and excellent recording production values. If great lyrics, and a rich melodic style ranging from sensitive to raw is what you desire in your next music purchase, then I think you’ll like this.

This is Lucinda just before she made the "turn" from raw and scratchy moonshine Blues to what we know 10 years later as a fantastic songwriter that can blend her cigarette burned vocal style with just the right amount of metaphorical raunch. This is "no-frills" Blues without the mastered polish.

Got me goin rocked out touched me great voice grat songwriter great guitar playing. grammy winner thumbs up five stars

I first heard Lucinda Williams on the Letterman show and he had such high praise for her that I decided to give it a try. I fell in love. A great artist with such poetic inspiration. I feel like a could never tire of these songs.

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 !

This is my favorite Lucinda Williams cd. 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!
