It's what kids were writing in each other's high school yearbooks long before cell phones appeared.

I just like Lucinda. Smoky, cool, understated, and poetic.

How about playing songs from Sweet Old World or Essence? Play the sings with Bo ramsey on guitar.
"Baby, sweet baby, I wanna feel your breath
Even though you like to flirt with death Baby, sweet baby, can't get enough
Please come find me and help me get f——-d up"

Ooooh man, does she sing these lyrics in a seductive way.

She has a perfectly lovely voice. There's clearly a double-standard with respect to women singers; if their voice isn't "lovely" then they can't sing well. Clearly this expectation isn't the same with male singers, most of whom rely on their ability to approximate notes rather then sing them clearly. Of course I'm talking about the stuff we hear on RP as my sample.

Thanks, please tell my editor! Caught Lucinda in a small venue (House of Blues New Orleans) show a few weeks back. She does not front, not an ounce. Pure soul pours out of every pore, and that ragged voice flows like molten iron. Her new guitar player was a bit long on technique and short on raw meat, but CC Adcock came out for the encore to show him how it's done. A national treasure.

Built under the administration of Governor Earl K. Long, brother of the Kingfish Huey P. Long himself, it has an unstable, acrophobic draw that will pull you against your will to peer over the 135 foot railing to the muddy water below.

I avoid it if at all possible.

Saw her at the Orange Peel in March of this year - she opened with this one and did a great job. She must have not done it in awhile because she had to keep looking at the words.
Great song!

Maybe not true for everyone, but if you grew up in south Louisiana, traveled many gravel roads, and entertained death thoughts on the old Lake Charles Calcasieu bridge this incredible collection probably captures your soul. If you don't get the accent, you really ought to think about traveling more often, and getting off the main roads when you do.

 

yes, that's right

Forgot just HOW GOOD this song is. Lucinda in transition but still dead, cold on.  UK, you're just not going to get this. That's OK. Just refrain from being an ass please.

At night I also sometimes think "why does yellow make me sad?" I then drive thru the narrow steel spider and I think to my self "gosh, I wish I had a friendly crossed flintlock pistol so I could perform the holly ritual of the deep south"  But then I think of my neighbors back yard weeds and how hard it must be for Gov. Long to push them up.

This entire album is composed of 8's, 9's, and 10's.  Lucinda could do no wrong on this one.  Sublime.

So would that be "great musical taste" in your opinion, or have you been officially anointed the universal arbiter of "great musical taste?"

It must be delightful to be you and make prescient choices in your pop music likes and dislikes. I am envious.
 

This is a pattern here:

"I don't like this song."
"Then you're stupid."

Isn't it more proper to simply defend the tune instead of insulting the critic? If it's such a great tune (and I think it is) then simply point out why it's great, as your rebuttal. There's no need to be mean.

I grew up in Lake Charles, so this song immediately throws me back to that rural, humid, organic place that I couldn't stand. Weirdly, that's a good memory.
