Lucinda Williams - "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@jerrycaplan]

How come this incredible singer is not acknowledged as one of the best in the business. What a voice!

[@clarecampbell4481]

💯 !!

[@robertsuitsjr6117]

To a lot of her peers, she is. Songwriters will put her right up there with John Prine.

[@michaelelliott3209]

Her accent never sounds forced or fake. A lot of the new "country" singers need to pay attention.

[@kevinconley1575]

I was totally just thinking the same thing. That's crazy I saw your comment. Perfect amount of twang.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

It’s because Lucinda is from Louisiana, perfect, authentic accent!!!❤❤❤ I grew up in OK and have a slight “twang” also,…southerners…

[@incorrigiblerogue1193]

Lucinda is a fcking national treasure and she should be made Queen Of Everything That Matters

[@Claudio56420]

I discovered her voice last summer,, watching Radio Paradise as usual in my motorbikes workshop, and since became my favorite group. I adore her ! 😉

[@chipsterb4946]

Sometimes you come across an artist who ALWAYS seems to have an awesome collection of players in their band. Absolutely everyone here is at the top of their game. A joy to listen to, and affirmation that Lucinda Williams is very special.

[@johng2880]

.You're so right. The instrumentation and orchestration (fancy words for a gravel road to be sure) are always top notch! Tasteful playing all around.

[@willwetherell7265]

It never hurts to have Kenny Vaughn in the mix.

[@chipsterb4946]

@@willwetherell7265 on virtually any other stage Kenny would stand out as head and shoulders above the rest of the players. Here, like when he plays with Marty Stuart, Kenny fits in great.

[@andrewbowen6875]

This song was big at the time and I never realised who or how good she was at the time. This particular night captured forever is one of the best live shows I’ve seen by anyone.

[@allenmcgee9379]

Only recently discovered Lucinda when I saw a cd on sale. Looked up car wheels and wondered,,,, how on earth did I ever miss thing amazing singer and beautiful lady. I absolutely love the album “Car Wheels on a gravel road”! Awesome!

[@peggykelley1799]

Saw her in Milwaukee, years ago... She was under the weather but she pulled up like a crop duster and nailed the rest of the show like the true Pro that she is. Love her. She's a world treasure.

[@c.d.macaulay66]

So evocative. She paints pictures and captures attitudes with her lyrics. She is the real deal.

[@lucindawilliams5091]

You're amazing 😘... I would love to know you more better than this, can you kindly drop me your hangout just to get in touch with you.. thank you

[@c.d.macaulay66]

I’m honored. Not into social media so much. Am proud to have never been on Facebook. Or Twitter for that matter. All I use is my email, [e-mail]. Love hearing your songs come up on the radio.

[@chipsterb4946]

@@c.d.macaulay66 it’s not just pictures - Lucinda evokes sounds all the time in her lyrics... just the title of this song for example. “Screen door slamming’ shut” we all know that sound. Dogs barking, Loretta on the radio... it goes on. She also seems to be connected to locations very much. Her stories don’t happen in unnamed places - she usually if not always gives us the context of a specific location. Guess what I’m trying to say is that she “paints” a complete picture including vision, sound, location, etc. One of my favorite lyricists of all time. P.S. Did Lucinda get in touch with you or was that a troll? Apologies for my cynicism ...

[@c.d.macaulay66]

Chipster: It had to be a troll. I replied but have not heard back.

[@allypad64]

Actually, I just heard her sing the song for the documentary Ghosts of Highway 20 and I was like DAMN, who is singing that song!?! She sounds amazing 🤩 - which took me down the KZbin rabbit hole to learn more about her. I’m ashamed to say I had never heard of her before (and I love this type of music). It’s too bad that she doesn’t get more recognition because she really is amazing. I’m definitely a new fan :)

[@PBDCooper]

That´s one of the 10 best songs ever written (in my honest opinion) ... and this is the best way to play it ...

[@alcoholya]

inclined to agree and my tastes are all over the genre map.

[@charlottereynolds8394]

I'm inclined to say you need to listen to more music.

[@PBDCooper]

@@charlottereynolds8394 I´m inclined to respect most people´s taste in music ;-). I´m listening to a wide range of (popular) music since 1978... and yes, for my present taste (is has shifted a bit over the years, yes!) this still is one of the 10 best songs ever written.

[@Sarmatae1]

@@PBDCooper No no, you're right. I was being rude and I apologise. I was in a mood yesterday and went full-on troll. Grown-ass adults should be better than that. But just to let you know; I too have a broad range of music tastes and am actually very open-minded when it comes to trying new genres. Unfortunately, I don't care for this band, but I am willing to give it another shot if you care to recommend a song that is not the Ghosts of Highway 20. I've already heard it. -Charlotte

[@Sarmatae1]

@@PBDCooper Out of curiosity...I'd love to know what the other 9 songs are.

[@stevelindahl8839]

After all these years why isn't she on everyones radar, such a talented singer/songwriter

[@gailremp8389]

Did you hear an interview recently in probably 2020 about when her dad heard this song and he cried. And she couldn't understand why. And he said I didn't realize that he had made her cry. And him being a poet and everything it meant quite a lot to her that he really understood...

[@co8962]

Wow! How did I miss her music until now?

[@lupodelupis3672]

Lucinda has such a beautiful warm voice.

[@brettplayle3274]

Her voice is amazing. Pure Americana.

[@paulparker905]

Gram might love this. Don't know. I meant that as a huge compliment.

[@jasonbrace5459]

Love her voice!

[@rogerdroz7497]

Today I learned Lucinda is not driving music. I put Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" on the radio as I drove for breakfast. The urge to close my eyes to absorb her depth made it nearly impossible to drive. I think she is the coolest, deepest female singer there is.

[@Hillstruck]

Tremendous singer and songwriter. Every line is believable.

[@intrepidone2796]

When I first heard this song on German radio I just had to buy the CD. Seeing her makes the song even better - love it!

[@jennyrosd2003]

Shes so cool. Love her style always.

[@jacksoneverage7163]

Love this album, bought it as soon as it came out. But this version of this song is my favorite. The band and Lucinda are just in tune and on point.

[@stanislouse4168]

Precisely!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

They’re absolutely fantastic here! Have seen her twice xx, she’s a great performer!!! ❤❤

[@marcibolton5718]

So many wonderful memories listening to this awesome album with my daughters. 💕😍

[@meanmutton]

Just saw her last night and god damn, she puts on a great show.

[@spenser6768]

This song brings me to tears, it's so good

[@sweetjane5033]

great lyrics! beautiful & kind heart!❤😊

[@quad1000]

She is a complete original. Fantastic.

[@MikeMillan-m9s]

I used to work some cattle outside of San Marcos years ago. This brings me back to the miles of caliche dust I used to kick up every morning at sunrise getting out there. Good times. Great song

[@flamencoprof]

I might be city born, but when I was young there were a lot of gravel roads I was taken on and later drove myself not too far from my city. The very house I live in today was accessed by a gravel road when it was first built. Later, Lucinda's lyrics brought it all back to me.

[@BoltFlashdrive]

That was, indeed, mighty tasty. Never gets old.

[@michaelsteven1090]

great song from a GREAT album..

[@peterottes6900]

Had the pleasure of seeing her on tour with Richard Thompson when this album came out... It was truly amazing... She is a treasure..

I have never heard this amazing lady before, until I watched free state of Jones and heard her song, I'm crying. Amazing.

[@gracefeutz997]

Takes me back many years to the bootheel of MO where I did some growing up. Love the backup vocals and the great guitars.

[@toddtwitchell]

I know that sound, having lived back in the woods on a half-mile gravel driveway. 🚗🚙

[@kenfiedler9657]

I've seen her twice and both times she played amazing shows to packed houses, a unique talent!!

[@keithmcintyre6403]

I've been listening to that song for decades.....the words suddenly got dark....

[@reelincoln7747]

I love her “Can’t Let Go”!

[@bfdecem]

Love this album. Truly great

[@KittyGrizGriz]

So glad Russell Crowe (actor) turned me onto Lucinda’s music, he wanted her to sing in his band “30 Odd Foot of Grunts”. Thanks Russell 😉 Have seen her perform twice in Tulsa, OK 🇺🇸 she’s absolutely fantastic!! ❤❤❤

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Lucinda was supposed to do a gig London 2002, but with 9/11 and her fear of fly, it got put off to 2003. Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London. I finally got to see her. Just great.

[@SPRAYPSALM777]

I love this song. Great live version. Sounds as good as the album. Lucinda looks great, and Kenny is killing it on guitar as usual... Love Lucinda!
