Lucinda Williams- Happy Woman Blues; Lucinda Williams; Sweet Old World; Car Wheels On a Gravel Road

i am impressed. i swear, i thought i was the only appreciator of ms lucinda williams. she should be spoken of in the same breath as dylan or lennon. only her peers and critics seem to know who she is. nicely done.

I'm with you all the way on this one!! I really like a lot of her later albums too, but that early run of 4 original material albums sits up there with anyone else's best runs that I can think of. She is just astounding, as a singer, songwriter, performer...etc., etc. ...great stuff. Blessings!!
