Decent lyric and melody but the singing, if you can call it that, is really quite bad

This is a good song in search of a better singer, to my ears.

Unlike some songs - this one is NOT growing on me. My ears hurt, esp. from the la-las. Sorry have to mute.

10!!

No twenty year old will have such a sexy voice as LUCINDA-THE-GREAT!

The harmonizing organ - the instrument is meant - is wonderful!


MUSIC for "sexy tiiiime" - ask Borat!

Whoa.  The music is good but the singing, not so much.  I don't know Lucinda but man, she sounds terrible, off key, and somewhat unintelligible, I figure she just needed to mail one in?

In full context:  "She is an example of the best of what country at least says it is, but, for some reason, she's completely out of the loop and I feel strongly that that's country music's loss."

Working with Charlie Sexton on this record was an excellent idea. Love his guitar work and subtle production. Nice.

Could be, but I read a glowing review of her latest CD.  Of course, that review is one person's opinion.

Please stop recording music or go get help before you release another song.

Tune sounds rather like "Seminole Wind", doncha think?  Which in turn reminds me of "Perfectly Good Guitar"...

I have to agree ... sounds like she didn't even try to deliver this coherently.

Always, apparently.  Or maybe only when she sings.

Hm, I don't see it. To me, Lucinda's voice says the South, the front porch, molasses, and smokes. Sheryl's says cruisin the 'Stang aimlessly late into a cool L.A. morning.

Nonetheless, I find your comparison to be high praise for Sheryl!

Cool!  I'd forgotten I have this CD!  Must pull it out and take it in my car for the daily commute!
Just upgraded the car speakers, so I can turn it up without the sound turning to mud now....

You sound like my parents circa 1962.

Only then it was "yeah, yeah, yeah's" instead of "la la la la's".

From Wikipedia:

"Emmylou Harris said of Williams, 'She is an example of the best of what country at least says it is. But, for some reason, she's completely out of the loop. And I feel strongly that that's country music's loss.'"

She didn't used to sound like this.

You can only imagine a drunken whore? You need to get out more, experience life.

Never been a fan of Lucinda Williams. I don't get it, I guess. She & Kathleen Edwards sound the same to me...drunker versions of Sheryl Crow (who I also don't really like).

Oh, well...that's just my opinion.

Perfection this may not be, but the thoughts conveyed in this song say something about life in America today, as I hear it. She moves from personal interactions to more broadly perceived observations about life in a fragmented society. And I actually like the guitar work. Her singing converys the feel of the song well to me. But then, I like Dylan's delivery (much of the time, anyway). This song works well played loud, also.

Sure, lots of great singers sing in between the notes, Janis Joplin, Betty Carter, even Billie Holiday. It was part of their expression. It's true that every singer has bad days, too, which is what I think this is. Maybe I haven't heard enough of her music, but this is atypical for her to sing this way. Some of her sustained notes sound forced and off key. It just sounds like a bad take. Sometimes other factors go into the decision to release a cut besides artistic merit. It's also a business, after all.

I can't believe she released this version. Her singing is unbelievably bad on it, and she's a better musician than that. WTF was she thinking?

She may not be the best singer ever. But like Young Neil, she's one of the best songwriters ever. And what she lacks in purity of tone, she more than makes up for with heart, passion, and verite. And I wouldn't have her any other way. Respect.
