This band she had at that time was absolutely impeccable. Lucinda Williams is a songwriter/singer legend, car wheels doesn't have a single weak song on it.
Shit how sad is that 14 years isnot the end there must be many years left just let it go and fly with the wind Easy to say for one that always tries to do whats right ?? and has never flown with the wind but will one day !!!!!!!!!!
My favourite female songwriter (dead or alive)...she always seems to find the right word at the tip of her pen. A raw beauty. A gorgeous artist. Goddess. Love her
excellent precise use of words painting vivid picture allied to beautiful melody and voice, leading to sublime performance,, huge talent on display, which was followed up on in later years.
Someone recently asked me who my favourite female artist was, and without giving it any thought the words Lucinda Williams popped out my mouth. Up to that point I hadn't really pondered the issue too much but there was obviously an answer in there waiting to came out. Clips like this just confirm the soundness of my instincts.
The gentleness of the entire band on this number is so beautiful. The sound just seems to bloom from the silence, like the way sadness sneaks up on you from nowhere.
It doesn’t always take a lot of words to tell a big story and this is a beautiful example of that. Every time I replay this, it digs deeper into my soul.
...beautiful. Name an American singer/songwriter who can string lyrics together better than Lucinda, and put them across with as much heart and soul as she can.
Cette artiste est une pure merveille: sa voix qui semble fragile, un peu éraillée mais chaleureuse, en direct avec son cœur, impossible d'écouter ça sans être au bord des larmes ! Un chef d'œuvre de la nature !
Wunderschön. Da passt einfach alles: die Musik, der Gesang, die Kameraeinstellungen (keine der heute üblichen, fürchterlichen Rundumfahrten. Keine ständiger - im zehntel Sekundentakt - Kamerawechsel. Sehr schöne Großaufnahmen) und das Publikum, dass nicht durch dauerhaftes Gekreische und Gejohle, den Musikgenuss stört. Danke!
I love you Lucinda and Jim Lauderdale from Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown...it was so good to visit you Jim and Dusty wakeman when you played up here last May❤️🎶❤️
Love her. I listen to Drunken Angel probably three times a week on RUclips. But "Blue" is up there with it. And "Those Three Days." Oh, wait, I just thought of 20 more. Perfect blend of melody and lyrics.
Such emotion drips from this song it would seem that Lucinda must be writing about her own life somehow. And she lays it out for us to feel. My, my! This is just good.
Real love is so strong and when it ends it just hurts so much. It's how we are made. It can't be helped and so we just keep on moving one step at a time.
Magical, angelic, hauntingly beautiful, moving me to tears of what true love is and the hurt that a woman can feel for a man she loves but knows he can never give her what she really needs. thank you Lucinda, God bless
I played bass in this video along with this drummer who did the Carwheels project. It was great to play with him. He passed away shortly thereafter. Richard Hombre Price
I wrote a song called "Prodigal Daughter" with Duane Jarvis, who toured with Lucinda and co-wrote "Still I Long for Your Kiss" (such a great song). Sadly, he passed away several years ago as well.
She's so strong, yet so vulnerable.... a killer combination. That smile at the end sums her up for me. You don't have to live the life to write the songs Lucinda; protect your heart x
How have I never heard this song? I've heard (and loved) a lot of Lucinda Williams songs over the years. I guess I have to buy the albums... This is amazing.
Loved her forever. Like Dylan her songs are so real and close to someone (like me) who feels life deeply. If you're shallow, move on. It's real man, it's life.
What a quality! for a moment I thought it was 2012 or something. Lucinda Williams such a beautiful lady. I wish she always stayed the same :( .... Beautiful song by the way!.
Thanks for the kind words. It is not Fran Breen on this show. We were in the UK on a tv show. Donald Lindley, her original drummer is playing. He also was the drummer on the Carwheels cd.

I just listened to this song 20 times straight. What a great fucking day.
This band she had at that time was absolutely impeccable. Lucinda Williams is a songwriter/singer legend, car wheels doesn't have a single weak song on it.
true.
true.
and true.
How lucky are we that this was captured for us to enjoy!
This song is like a testimony to the accumulation of every tear I've cried for the last 14 years
We are all crying now......
WOW !!
I'll rave about you. Done ✔
Shit how sad is that 14 years isnot the end there must be many years left just let it go and fly with the wind Easy to say for one that always tries to do whats right ?? and has never flown with the wind but will one day !!!!!!!!!!
Ouch, that hit home
My favourite female songwriter (dead or alive)...she always seems to find the right word at the tip of her pen. A raw beauty. A gorgeous artist. Goddess. Love her
U R so right !!!

Indeed.
One of the best guitar solos ever ... soooooooo tasteful. Helluva band all around! And of course, Lucinda's voice ... damnnnnn ...
Lucinda tears your heart out with this song. But I guess that's what she's supposed to do. Love it...
With a voice like that she could sing the phone book and we'd all be blubbering.
She is so raw. Absolutely love her. Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve. She cuts herself open for us to see her heart.
Pretty graphic characterization, but as I ponder it, it is spot on. She lays it out, pain and all.
Absolutely
She speaks from my heart. Incredible Woman. Great road trip music. You can sing to the top of your lungs. Fking awesome
The gentleness of the entire band on this number is so beautiful. The sound just seems to bloom from the silence, like the way sadness sneaks up on you from nowhere.
yes, Jim Lauderdale backing her up with his beautiful voice .... the two of them singing harmony is fantastic
@CasperLCat That is an amazing insight,, thank you for that
Borrowed Cash, brilliant. Big love .
Lucinda is an extraordinary talent who has worked hard at her craft. She really knows how to write a song that connects.
Beautiful Lucinda, singing her sad and gorgeous music..........
For honest heartache and unassuming wisdom, Lucinda is the very best.
That telecaster solo was fine too. Very tasty.
Her voice has a haunting quality to it...ethereal almost. Love her.
Yes, haunting, ethereal, but also raw. Pure genius!
chairman meow you never said it better
It doesn’t always take a lot of words to tell a big story and this is a beautiful example of that. Every time I replay this, it digs deeper into my soul.
Untouchable. This song is stunning and she delivers a flawless performance. Fan for life.
Nancy Atlas Yes, me too...for life..
So true it hurts...
Deep
Just.....wow.
Just life? There will be Lucinda at my funeral.
I need to go back to greenville
She is the best. Up there with Hank Williams.
@James Bustard , nobody seems to be agreeing with you.
...beautiful. Name an American singer/songwriter who can string lyrics together better than Lucinda, and put them across with as much heart and soul as she can.
Mary Gauthier
No can do
She definitely has been ignored by Tennessee. Awesome talent, I'm so glad I discovered her & her music!!!
Lucinda can paint the colors of pain with her voice
Great post. LU is a national treasure. If this song doesn't well the tears you have no heart.
Cette artiste est une pure merveille: sa voix qui semble fragile, un peu éraillée mais chaleureuse, en direct avec son cœur, impossible d'écouter ça sans être au bord des larmes ! Un chef d'œuvre de la nature !
Well said my friend! 💕🎼💕
One of the greatest songs ever written
It doesn’t get much better than this,
Lucinda is the embodiment of heartache in song.
"The embodiment of heartache in song" is eloquent! Thanks Robert.
Frank Sabatino You are very kind Frank

I love you Lucinda and Jim Lauderdale from Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown...it was so good to visit you Jim and Dusty wakeman when you played up here last May❤️🎶❤️
I go back to this song, again and again.....it resonates with me, with a tear in my eye and a smile on my face.
Doug Whole nice
Camero Holster .....now I'm going to have to listen to this again! But first I always need a few drinks.
Lucinda singing this song with tears in her eyes .... it doesn't get any better than this.
On second thought, the best singer / song writer ever, bar none.
Hahah it took you a month to make that decision, but it's a smart one
Barbara Charbonn eactive
Yes, the best ever bar none - totally agree. There has never been anyone like Lucinda.
agreed!
@@changemytone she grows on you by the day, by the minute.
Love her. I listen to Drunken Angel probably three times a week on RUclips. But "Blue" is up there with it. And "Those Three Days." Oh, wait, I just thought of 20 more. Perfect blend of melody and lyrics.
Bus to Baton Rouge ❤️❤️
this song brings me back to a simple time and place....everything is changing so fast
She is fking awesome. Her stories blow me away & take to a place of such passion
one of her best. straight from the heart
Beautifully sung
The understated guitar solo is perfect also.
Sometimes things come together and they're perfect . . .
Rick Fritschy all was in at that moment, musicians, Sound Set, light Set, everything!
Seldom but here it is.
This song lays me OUT!!
This makes me cry. I never cry
Wow. Fantastic version, and she looks really good here, doesn't she?
degli spiriti agreed....
degli spiriti Yeas and Yes !
She always does.
She’s beautiful
Such emotion drips from this song it would seem that Lucinda must be writing about her own life somehow. And she lays it out for us to feel. My, my! This is just good.
A voice to die for!
A guitar in your hand, a guitar in your hand...
Man I love Lucinda Williams. There's nothing better than this IMO
Greg IKR? Even the rockers up here listen to her. Took a New Orlenian to show'em ... 🙄🙄🙄
Kimb Bill
Real love is so strong and when it ends it just hurts so much. It's how we are made. It can't be helped and so we just keep on moving one step at a time.
Magical, angelic, hauntingly beautiful, moving me to tears of what true love is and the hurt that a woman can feel for a man she loves but knows he can never give her what she really needs. thank you Lucinda, God bless
This one speaks for my heart -the words I could not find.
I've never heard of her. I her Amos Lee's cover of this song so I looked her up. Boy, am I glad I did. This is beautiful and his hard.
Excellent ...l'ensemble est génial...merveilleux...!!!❤❤❤❤❤
The borrowed cash. Brilliant. Love Lucinda.
I played bass in this video along with this drummer who did the Carwheels project. It was great to play with him. He passed away shortly thereafter. Richard Hombre Price
the bass isnt always noticeable on alot of music,,, however on this it is,,,and it it outstanding well done to you.
fake post
oh yeah; the guy is still alive, I saw him last week down at the Stop 'N Go near the old train station, and i KNOW you don't play bass. - fake post
Wow! What an honor!!! Spectacular timing and tone on the bass I might add-- well done!!!
I wrote a song called "Prodigal Daughter" with Duane Jarvis, who toured with Lucinda and co-wrote "Still I Long for Your Kiss" (such a great song). Sadly, he passed away several years ago as well.
Never ever had an "ohhhh" leave such an ache in my heart. I second Rick Fritschy's conclusion....perfect. Thank you Lucinda.
She's so strong, yet so vulnerable.... a killer combination. That smile at the end sums her up for me. You don't have to live the life to write the songs Lucinda; protect your heart x
One of the best artists ever
Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Wonderful. One of my favorite songs off the Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album. Thanks for posting.
A marvelous songwriter.
How have I never heard this song? I've heard (and loved) a lot of Lucinda Williams songs over the years. I guess I have to buy the albums... This is amazing.
Loved her forever. Like Dylan her songs are so real and close to someone (like me) who feels life deeply. If you're shallow, move on. It's real man, it's life.
Yep we all like different things and my tastes are more like yours. I like deep, honest and self reflective imperfection. :)
May be the best thing i have ever seen.
Just as good as it gets!!!
She is definitely an under appreciated artist. Thanks for the upload, K.
Oh mercy. This is sublime. ❤️✌🏻
The beautiful Lucinda
stunning, touching, legendary. One of the 100 best songs in all categories (and super musiciens).
So much depth and soul. I love her so much.
one of the most melodic songs i've ever heard
must see her live now a great song and brilliant production. ace!
thank you, Lord, for people like L.W.
I love this song
This is great stuff!!!...
Beautiful, sad song!Love her voice, would love to see her live.
I love perfect musicianship. Listen to that solo! So tasteful, not flashy, no ego. Oh yeah, the song ain't too bad neither!
Look how focused she is on doing the best job. She is amazing.

What a quality! for a moment I thought it was 2012 or something. Lucinda Williams such a beautiful lady. I wish she always stayed the same :( .... Beautiful song by the way!.
THERE COMES A TIME WHEN THINGS ARE RIGHT AND THINGS ARE WRONG This song is where we are all at is it not ??

Happy Birthday Lucinda... January 26, 1953
OMG!!! Makes my soul weep. I love her.

I know this guy. Lucinda can tell a story that makes you eat your heart out! She is the best!!!
Thanks for the kind words. It is not Fran Breen on this show. We were in the UK on a tv show. Donald Lindley, her original drummer is playing. He also was the drummer on the Carwheels cd.
Canção linda e divina 💙💫💓
JUST PLAIN BEAUTIFUL.
Heartbreaking. And gorgeous.
Awesome awesome awesome
This is a great performance of a very sincere song. I'm glad I wandered by.
One hell of an artist beautiful Americana
And her background/harmony singer on some tracks was Emmylou Harris. Two goddesses of voice.
Your so beautiful you green eyed Aquarian alien. It’s my fave song to play
Love her And these comments!
Heartbreaking and beautiful.
LOVE THAT VOICE!
