This always soothes my soul. On a 30-hour train journey from El Paso to New Orleans, the train stopped in Lake Charles to take on passengers. I jumped off and lit a cigarette, played this on my headphones, and shed a tear. Got back on board my train, Spent 3 days in New Orleans and flew home to the west of Ireland. That 10 minutes is a cherished memory. Thank you, Lucinda.

The most fabulous Lucinda Williams. This is a song about Blaze Foley, the great songwriter. Blaze died young, stepping in front of a bullet meant for his friend. My girlfriend shared a flat for a time with Lucinda Williams when they were both in their 20s (in the late 60s) in New Orleans. She said Lucinda would sing and play guitar at a local New Orleans cafe. Just starting out and writing her own songs. I saw Lucinda and Buick Six in Bellingham, WA a few years back. I gave her my 50s electric Harmony Espanada guitar that I thought she could play while writing her next phenomenal song. She really helped me when I was really hurting. Playing my guitar to her voice and songs. Thanks Lucinda.

Don't mean to be a gotcha shmuck, But this song is not about Blaze, its about Lucinda's former boyfriend, Clyde Woodward. And it certainly is a beaute, my Lucinda fave. The song about Blaze Foley is 'Drunken Angle'. Best.

I discovered Lucinda on a previous ACL show… The one where it was a triple bill with her, Roseanne Cash, and Bruce Cockburn- who I’d tuned in for. Was a casual fan of Roseanne already, gained a greater appreciation for her on this show, but Lucinda was unknown to me. I became an instant fan - went out and bought “sweet old world” at my earliest opportunity. Not long after, “car wheels on a gravel road” came out - bought it without hearing a single note. Hard core Lucinda fan ever since

I think Lucinda is primarily a Poet. I note that although she is comfortable singing IN FRONT of an audience, she is not singing TO the audience. She doesn't attempt to engage the audience with her personality. She sometimes even stops playing and rests her hands on her guitar because she just wants to get those words out. Words that can break your heart if you listen to them.
