Lucinda Williams' voice is soft and silky by comparison...

From Wikipedia: Carlile describes the vocals as "technically wrong but emotionally right".
 
Also, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Understatement is a form of speech which contains an expression of less strength than what would be expected. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.

Geeze, I thought she got booted from the local tryouts for American Idol. Yeeecccchhhh. That's pretty much caterwauling, that one.

This must be one of the worst songs I ever heard on RP.

If I had pipes like that I'd probably use them too. Nothing wrong with that - you either like it or you don't.

I like it.

Wasn't bad at all.  In fact, I think it was "Pretty Good".

Nice to see a positive comment for this song among the hate.  I like your take on it - this song is about a journey.  Good tune.

This girl never gets under a 7. In her 20's with a voice seemingly riddled with years of experience, cigarettes, and whiskey.

Why her attempt to put your auditory system in full distress until the last 3 seconds of the song?  I almost get a feeling she might have a decent voice hidden underneath the screeching.  To bad, the song itself is likable.

She's trying too hard to be Janis Joplin on this one.

She would do well singing with Aerosmith...after they retire.

C'mon...this song rates better than a 5.8
Good lyrics,nice mood change
I'd rate it higher but I first heard it on a car commercial.

It's simple and poignant, and she sings it like she means it. That is why it is a great song.

Small? I almost got vocal nodes just listening to her attempt to hit the higher notes.

This was used very effectively IMO on a Chevy commercial (I think Chevy) last year. Not that it made me buy a Chevy, but I enjoyed the commercial.
