50 years of Tunes - 1998 - Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road"

After the brilliance of '97 less to pick from in '98. Car Wheels was the first Lucinda Williams album I heard and still sounds utterly sublime. She has a wonderful voice, full of character but never harsh and Car Wheels is packed with fabulous song writing that really lets her vocal shine.

Two of my favourite tracks from the album are on this YouTube clip which I couldn't embed in this post. Ride In Time is a good time tune which you can watch from the video below but the second track, Drunken Angel, sends a shiver down my spine whenever I hear it.

Excuse me, is it a bit dusty in here ... ?
