Just a tiny bit of Martha W maybe; my enjoyment increased a lot after the first chorus. Quite edgy with the guit sound later on.

Wow, lot of hate for this LW song. It's not that bad.
Her best work ? Naah, but it's still good.
I'm very surprised at the RP listener loathing.
There is a lot of other music that deserves it, and not much if it gets played here.
Which is what brings us all here of course...

I cringe everytime I hear a new song of hers introduced to RP's playlist.  I just don't get the appeal to her. Musically, vocally it's just plain lacking if not downright annoying.

Dunno about the rest of her songs, but this one sure bugs me. "Fake sleepy, smoky, after-sex voice." Exactamente.

And I'm staying right here and if you don't like it, you know where you can go.

Got it?

Well, I like it. It is a beautiful ballad and I love her voice. It certainly deserves more than a five! Seven!!!

It's ok. Better than anything else I've heard from her. It's > 4, but < 5.

Solid Lucinda. Damn, she can paint picture with that voice.

Lucinda - ahhh.  She's amazingly good.

To balance out the idiots that have been voting  1's for every song in the last hour I've been voting them at 10's. 

You 1 voters should just go find a different station. 

I know this may sound strange, but this is annoyingly enjoyable...if that's possible?

  

Lucinda Williams - Little Rock Star
Patty Griffin - Burgundy Shoes

So is Lucinda suggesting we p*ss on Patty Griffin's Burgundy Shoes?

Haven't had the pleasure of hearing her early stuff, but I like this a lot. 

There's something about a strung out scratchy chick voice that does it for me... dunno.

Okay, it's not horrible, but it's rainy, cold, and gray out this AM, so the addition of all these moody little songs in a row is being a total, total buzz kill, yeesh!

How about picking up the pace just a skoach? :)

Fake sleepy, smoky, after-sex voice is so grating. Literally like fingernails on the blackboard. Yes, I know it's part of the gestalt to the song, but she does it waaay too much in many of her songs. 

I loved LW's early stuff. No more. 

Chrissie Hynde has got to wish that she had written and performed this one.  Borrows heavily from the Pretenders IMHO, but I'm loving it.  Lucinda gets every drop of value out of her own unique style on this song.  Good pick from the new LW CD.

I don't love it, but it does have a hint of strung out Courtney Love (back when she was good—the junkie slut pig days).

Not my favorite Lucinda song by a long shot. If this is your first time listening to her, don't let this song/album put you off. Grab 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road'. 'Drunken Angel' is a great track.

Lucinda what has happened here, this sucks.  Usually I really like your stuff?????????

And this is supposed to be her happy album!  I like it overall, but I'm a sucker for that troubled siren.  Kinda weird to hear backup singers on a Lucinda album...
