Mr. Bill is in a slide-guitar mood. Sonny Landreth next?

Had this on the old KBCO Studio C 2000 collection on CD...lucky to have seen her do it live at Boulder Theater a few years back, too.  Nothing like seeing this smokin' thing done on stage in front of you with a multi-layer Rocky Mountain Way buzz on! ~Go Lucinda!

For me the sets don't get much better than this—thanks Bill, for knowing what we need when we need it.

Are there two songs playing on top of each other (Lucinda in a round?)? Or is that my office's sound system going berserk again?

Either way, I usually like this song!

Well, iTunes came out early 2001 and RP was listed as one of the radio stations (I think) from the outset. At that point you could listen but there was no registration to the site - that came in Late November/December 2001. 

But you can find the earliest public version here. . . I am going to guess that RP became live March 2000.

Many moons ago
I remember I found it one day searching on Live365 or Shoutcast 
But I remember I was using  OS9 on a Powerbook and Soundjam (eventually Apple bought it and iTunes was the result)
or maybe MacCast 
Been here ever since
Hey Bill would you mind dusting under me once in awhile?

Wow - the first comment on this tune was almost 10 years ago.  I still remember how exciting internet radio was to me back then - seems like only yesterday - now I can't imagine a world without internet radio.

This tune was my intro to Lucinda on KPIG streaming over the interweb.  Hooked then and still hooked now!

The way the resonator brightens the vocal dynamic increase in the chorus is magical. Painting with sound.

Great song and album.  LW is such a perfectionist — I've seen her a few times and every time she started at least two songs over ... and another great segue from Feat's Willin' to this.  RP is masterful.

Thought provoking comment - what is South? To me growing up, anybody north of I-10 was a Yankee. I always thought certain Georgia accents were a put-on, until experience proved otherwise.

As a Lake Charles, Louisiana area girl her amalgam of Texas brogue, Cajun French,  backwoods slur and coastal patois seems very natural to my ear. That area, defined by the Sabine river estuary, is historically famous as a no man's land between the US and the Republic of Texas. Equivalent to the DMZ, the locals had their own law, customs and speech patterns.

I've read comments labeling Lucinda's voice as a "drunken whore" act (even from an Austin RP poster) - but my aunts and cousins would have your skin if you were to say that in their presence. Lucinda has spent a lot of time in Nashville and Austin (among other places), but the heel of the boot of Louisiana left a stamp on her voice that makes her one of the most emotive and genuine representatives of the altcountry genre (a label she would probably dismiss).

Restricted to only one recording, I'd choose Car Wheels on an Gravel Road as the collection that would carry me through. Your results may vary.

 
Good comment.  Is 'South' geographic or cultural? Is Texas in the 'South'?  Is Louisiana 'American'?  Lucinda has always sounded like the classic Houston-area Cajun refugee - an accent as integral to the global petroleum DMZ as the Scottish, Nigerian, Iranian, Albertan, Venezuelan, New Jersey - don't ask, don't tell - broken-hearted, hunted and haunted citizens of this anti-metropolis.  Yea, she spent time here.

As for accents - Austin - think Owen Wilson; Nashville - think Dolly Parton (or Chet Atkins, playing now).  Lucinda - think Houston dive-bar...

Somehow after reading all of that I get the feeling that there's going to be a final exam covering this material.  Guess I'd better go hit the books...
 
If "hit the books" means "listen to a whole bunch of Lucinda Williams" hold on, I'll get a couple bottles of rye whiskey and be right over.

No she's fricking amazing. Mick Jagger kicks himself in the ass every morning that he can't riff like this woman here. The only musicians with this much brain on line are dorks with taped glasses like Mark Mothersbaugh and Al Yankovic.
