Lucinda Williams - "Can’t Let Go" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@SergeCeyral]

When Kenny Vaughan is backing you, you always fly on a magic carpet...

[@CleanHead]

and Jim Lauderdale singin with you never hurts...

[@kevintaylor1012]

Amen brother!👍

[@charlespeterson3798]

Himself, Jim Lauderdale, mah favorite white boy..

[@sirwinston2368]

I noticed that. Dude is good!

[@lindsayfoster685]

Kenny is the real deal.

[@mamarosey1]

I appreciate the love this tune is getting thanks to a great cover by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, but damn. Nothing touches Lucinda. Big love for this lady always

[@aarongee9967]

You are right , I love the Plant Krauss version , but much prefer this one, Big credit to Lucinda, I have now heard three different cover versions of this song

[@dougieh9676]

Facts‼️ Can’t touch Lucinda 🎶 I totally love her ❤️❤️❤️

[@MoiraRussell]

Nobody growls soulfully like Lucinda!

[@davidjotkowitz8461]

The cover wasn’t blue enough

[@SunbearBluesBand]

Apart from the fact that this is simply a great song ... the guitars are awesome here.

[@andyreddekop991]

Yeah, I love the energy in this performance!

[@andyinoregon]

Nobody does this song better than Lucinda, but fans should know she didn't write it. "Can't Let Go" was written and performed regularly in concert by her good friend Randy Weeks. It was the biggest hit from her 1998 album "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," and the only song on it that she didn't write.

[@Frank-sm9yl]

He didn't make squat off of it until she recorded it.

[@andyinoregon]

@@Frank-sm9yl Of course that's true, but it could never have become one of her signature songs if Weeks hadn't written it. Same goes for Linda Ronstadt covering Warren Zevon's "Poor Poor Pitiful Me."

Super Lucinda, super band !!! From France.

One amazing band !!

[@mikelord9860]

Hey thanks a lot for posting this info, I recognized Lucinda, Kenny and Jim but didn't know the others, or the date.

[@nicholasstephens1349]

You can taste the piss and vinegar in the guitar, lyrics and Vocals. It’s a Randy, Kenny and Lucinda cocktail that is impossible to dislike.

[@kariskjerseth8818]

i like that analogy "thank you i'll have another"

[@AlmirGrbic]

I can listen to Lucinda for hours. Pure joy!

[@marksullivan6826]

Miss Lucinda is a great story teller and has got so much soul! We are blessed to have her!

[@sosmra]

I bought gravel road and fell in love with her voice

[@rattlesnakejar]

[@Frank-sm9yl]

The best.

[@tedparkinson6892]

Over 121K and 32 losers gave this magnificent performance a thumbs down. I guess that is the ratio of the universe. I just hope I get to see Lucinda again LIVE one day.

Saw Lucinda do this song on Saturday night live, I was hooked!

I played this for my 80yrs old dad and he said damn that's playing now

[@donstand2195]

Mine did too dad said it doesn't get any better than that

[@dirkbag22]

I can't decide, they're both so great. Robert and Alison hit it out of the park, but this performance is just ferocious. I have to give the nod to the songwriter herself.

[@climbnride58]

Dernier morceau du formidable concert de 1998, l'un des meilleurs des années 1990. Difficile de faire mieux. Elle est contente de son travail et de ses musiciens. Elle a bien raison.

[@GirlNamedNino]

Told you, baby, one more time Don't make me sit all alone and cry Well, it's over I, know it but I can't let go I'm like a fish out of water, a cat in a tree You don't even want to talk to me Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go He won't take me back when I come around Says he's sorry then he pulls me out I got a big chain around my neck And I'm broken down like a train wreck Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go See I got a candle and it burns so bright In my window every night Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go You don't like to see me standin' around Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go He won't take me back when I come around Says he's sorry then he pulls me out I got a big chain around my neck And I'm broken down like a train wreck Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go Turn off the trouble like you turn off a light Went off and left me, it just ain't right Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go Around every corner, something I see Brings me right back how it used to be Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go He won't take me back when I come around Says he's sorry then he pulls me out I got a big chain around my neck And I'm broken down like a train wreck Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go He won't take me back when I come around Says he's sorry then he pulls me out I got a big chain around my neck And I'm broken down like a train wreck Well, it's over, I know it but I can't let go It's over, I know it but I can't let go It's over, I know it but I can't let go It's over, I know it but I can't let go

That b3 organ does more for the groove and bottom end than 8 guitars... :) One of my regrets, left in 2017. Didn't get to see this.

[@jaxflfreebird]

I think this is Lucinda's "Gregg Allman" song. Come on, you can hear the comparison can't you, but without an organ of course. So much swagger!!

Great song written by Randy Weeks!

[@rattlesnakejar]

Krauss and Plant's live version is far superior to their album version, but nothing touches Lucinda's live or album versions. She has so much power and control and passion. This is really one of my all-time favourite songs in the world!
