A Song For You - Lucinda Williams

RETURN TO SIN CITY GRAM PARSONS

[@WilliamWilkins-ld4bm]

As Jim Lauderdale says "That's Americana!" That is it at it's best! GP smiling down from Heaven

[@tomgill8805]

Saw Lucinda last night 27/02/24 in the Olympia Theatre, Dublin, brilliant as always. So underrated.

[@michealfrances]

How did the Irish audiences react to her work?

[@user-ok2ic8tr9q]

What a Hidden Gem Gram was & still is from most. 1 of his best. Custom made for Lucinda Williams.

[@oldfriendofmine]

Lucinda's voice is beautiful, Gram's music timeless. 10/10

She treats the song as if it is holy,I love her so much.

[@jimedwards1955]

I think it is...... certainly is for Emmy Lou.

[@thetwoboyos8366]

She does indeed.. and thats why she was a perfect choice for covering it Her band members show great reverence in their performance too

[@mika1367]

This song is holy

It is holy.

Thank you

JJ was an asshole!

[@gstevens50]

A beautiful Gram Parsons song sung and played by this brilliant soulful woman and her band.

[@chevy2599]

Her voice is perfect for this Parson's song. Don't really hear these real slow songs anymore. This one is a real gem. Cheers from Canada.

Ahh! Gram’s words & Lucinda’s voice; if this doesn’t move your soul nothing will.

[@tinker3330]

Wow! Can anybody sing this song any better? I don't think so! Lucinda, you are the best ever!

[@emmettmckenna4565]

Er, well . . . Gram for one!

Emmylou for two!

This girl gets it.! A voice and hot blue eyes and sings from the bottom of her soul.

[@edboyce7466]

yeah !!!

[@ritahall2378]

Green eyes I think the most rare color on earth I think

[@armadillotoe]

This is a performance that I keep returning to. I was never a fan before I heard this. I don't know what could have been done to make this a more heart felt tribute, or to put more feeling in this song. The incredible musicians backing her up also deserve a lot of praise.

[@lindacole7393]

DON"T MISS "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" - pure desert island, all great songs, album - seriously : ))

[@panchohill]

James Burton ,who played on the original recording by Gram Parsons playes at the end .He also played with Ricky Nelson and Elvis. In the middle is Doug Pettibone Lucinda's regular guitarist

[@cinnamongirl64]

Wow, her voice brings out the feelings of this song...you can hear it all, this song is so timeless lyrically.

[@matasoti9935]

Lucinda got my heart unbroken she’s a healer

[@stevetady5332]

This is flippin remarkable. I thought Whiskeytown's version was great. This takes it to a new level. Wow. Kudos L-town.

[@charlestaylor1584]

Steve Tady correct

[@brucestephens6772]

I was so afraid to listen to this because to me this is Gram's song and Gram's alone. Being a huge admirer of Lucinda's I just couldn't help myself and clicked on. She nailed it!

[@coffeebrown673]

Lucinda’s voice is amazing!!! So unique that I’ve never heard anything like it. I’m not a country music fan but I’m really liking her. I would love to see her in concert.

[@johndeschenes8369]

Coffee Brown Lucinda is not really country she is more Americana then anything but she despises labels on music. She is very soulful and I’ve seen her about 10 times.

[@MrMusicguyma]

Nice slow interpretation of the Gram song, great band.

[@samuraiofanothermother9341]

MrMusicguyma Keith Richards wrote it w/Gram. There's a pretty good youtube link with them working out some of the instrumentals-just search...

[@flyingburritobro68]

Angela Esmiol Keith wrote no songs with Gram. They hung out, jammed, partied heavily and were friends from 68 until his death in 73 but wrote no songs. Any such stuff on KZbin or elsewhere is make believe

[@waitingforthehealing]

Favourite GP song, favourite female singer/songwriter ever. So I kinda like this unsurprisingly. Thanks for such musical inspiration

[@garyborgen4430]

I visited the Singer and Song Writer's Hall of Fame in Nashville about 15 years ago. They had a special display on James Burton with a Telecaster and a knee-high stack of r ecords he been played on. On top was Gram's Return of the Grievous Angel. All those great albums but Gram on top.

[@margaretross9150]

Emmylou said that Gram had no ego when it came to other musicians. On his solo albums he made sure these talented musicians got a chance to shine. "Pick it for me, James."

[@danishpastry855]

So take me out to your dance floor. I love Gram Parsons and Lucinda did this justice

[@tia2all501]

I've Met And Talked To Lucinda She Is The Real Deal What You See Is What You Get No Rock Star Bull Ego Just A Humble Sweet Woman Love Her💖

[@rja81]

i knew she was real and you just moved me to tears for confirming my hunch that she really is an angel, God bless you Lucinda and you too karen jadlowski.

[@cakeheadsen]

if this voice dont touch you then you need to check if you still have a soul,,,

[@kathiehenderson1851]

Brilliant deduction!

[@CelticBadBoyPoet7]

Or a Pulse😎

[@bradroberts7938]

Absolutely ✌️

[@gailremp8389]

That was an interesting way of saying that. But have you noticed that people that actually have a sore can sometimes get so shattered that they doubt that their soul is left? Oh there are some people that never had a soul in the first place. And they are beyond help. I try to be kind and gracious to everyone, but sometimes you just have to walk away. But with Lucinda, I run towards her and her music.

[@RSoulle]

Keeping the music alive in such a becoming manner, Beautiful!!!

[@therealbettyjane]

A song of loving you, A song of your goodbye.... You wrapped around my heart, I couldn't stop you, if I tried. Don't know if I'll ever see you, play guitar, Or hear your song in this life, But I'll be here listening for your voice, don't worry.... The sun won't hurt my eyes, It will just dry the tears I'm cryin.... True love never dies....

I clicked hoping for the Carpenters hit re-invented, but this Gram Parsons is great too. I especially loved the Whiskeytown version.

[@skylinbaby]

I found your music about a year or two and have been a fan since then. I love how you seem to put so much heart and soul into your songs. I think you are a wonderful artist. I now own all your cds. I wish I could see you perform in person but it looks like you only stick to one coast or the other and i am smack dab in the middle. Still you have a fan for life here in the land of razorbacks!

Lovely! The tragic long-lost Gram Parsons. Still here in his music.

[@rollandcrowscall2889]

I really appreciate Lucinda's style and songs, she's similar to Bob Dylan, brilliant song writing, even though their voices aren't pitch perfect, they get the feeling in their words across to the listeners. and that is a rarity in music nowadays.

[@MrMusicguyma]

Lucinda's pitch, while less than perfect, is actually much better than Gram's.

Some people can't take a self-assured, confident woman. They call them bitches, sluts, etc. Lucinda Williams is someone today's girls ought to look to for inspiration instead of Miley Cyrus or Kim Kardashian, but they more than likely won't, which is a pity.
