Je ne suis pas le seul à avoir trouver le concert de Ryan Adams à la Maroquinerie le 3 juin dernier absolument mémorable : An Aquarium Drunkard vous propose de télécharger la soirée dans son intégralité. Ryan Adams - Blue Hotel [03/06/2007, La Maroquinerie, Paris) Pour rester dans la musique live, c'est Captain's Dead qui nous rappelle que la trop longue absence de Lucinda Williams sur le sol
anyone got a good remedy for what feels to be a pinched nerve in my shoulder blade/upper back? god damn it hurts! i tried stretching it out, putting on flexall, an oil massage from my lady but they only briefly relieved the pain. i guess i will probably just have to wait it out. fuck [...]
Time has told me received a DMCA for one of their Nick Drake posts from October last year. I didn't read the now deleted post inquestion, but I'm going to restate that if you have a problem with us posting any songs then just get in touch and we'll remove the link. Perhaps this is to do with that 'new' Nick Drake album I was informed about. In the meantime here's lonesome favorite Lucinda Williams covering Nick's Which Will Listen: Lucinda Williams - Which Will

Album of the month Arcade Fire – The Neon Bible In a month of so many good North American albums (LCD Soundsystem, Marissa Nadler, Panda Bear, Lucinda Williams to name but a few), this is the one for me. The more I listen to it, the better it gets, and it was only further enhanced by the live experience. It's no Funeral , but maybe that's not a bad thing. With only one duff track (the title track) and 10 other [...]
For my second guest post, local singer-songwriter Satchel Jones has kindly stepped in to review a recent Lucinda Williams concert he caught at Radio City. After the set, he even got the added bonus of going backstage and hanging out with Lucinda. Here's Satchel to fill us in the details about what sounds like an excellent show. Enjoy. Lucinda Williams and guitarist Doug Pettibone [...]
My brother Uncle T is a valued occasional contributor to Speed of Dark . For this post, he has supplied a review of Lucinda Williams in concert that he attended at the Granada Theater in Dallas, TX on March 10. Uncle T happens to be a major Lucinda fan and has seen her more times that I can remember, in Dallas and at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. I'll be forever grateful that he gave me Car Wheels On a Gravel Road many Christmases ago, and that he also turned me [...]
This is a sprightly little tune from the Kadane Brothers, not the usual affair from the Slowcore pioneers. What Fun Like Was , their first album, is one of the best. Their current band, The New Year, will hopefully be releasing some new material soon - I am looking forward to that. mp3 To The Ground Bedhead - WhatFunLifeWas This is a new one, a nice little pop nugget from LA's The Broken West . In fact, the whole record from [...]
Ever since 1980's 'Happy Woman Blues' the arrival of a new Lucinda Williams album has been eagerly anticipated in my household. They have all been greeted with pleasure and varying degrees of satisfaction. Yet none have met with the uncertainty of 'West'. Sure all the signature features are intact, thoughtful often profound lyrics, vocals invested with genuine emotion and instantly memorable tunes. So why am I hesitant to give this an unreserved thumbs-up? Is it Hal Wilner's production which seems to further flatten a downbeat mood, or is it Williams' examination of her pain which confuses. It opens with 'Are [...]
Los Angeles, CA So I'll be the first person to admit that LuCinda Williams doesn't seem like someone I'd post about. It's not that I can't appreciate her talent; it's just that this style of music really isn't my thing. However, her new album keeps growing on me. And this track I'm featuring is just amazing. I imagine it playing during a scene with Jerri Blank hitting the peace pipe. "Come On" LuCinda [...]
I consider Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On A Gravel Road to be a true genre classic in every sense of the word. Its marriage of southern gothic lyrical imagery and atmosphere, paired with a good set of headphones, has the rare power to transport the listener to the deep rural south without stepping foot on [...]
I see more great new music in our future. Feb. 13 Lucinda Williams: West ~ Words Feb 20 Magic Numbers ~ Take A Chance March 13 Amy Winehouse: Back to Black ~ You Know I'm No Good What new releases are you looking forward to?

Inspired by Heather's great post and contest involving the newly remastered Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On A Gravel Road disc I thought I'd bring you all a batch of my favorite Lucinda Williams rarities from various tribute albums and compilations. Many of them are out of print but, I've also listed the discs they come from if you want to try and track them down yourself. Many of these songs are covers, [...]
Although Lucinda Williams is quite a bit twangier than my usual listening fare, her music is resilient, burnished, and strong. No precious "awwwww" lyrics, no Jesus Take The Wheel or Beaches of Cheyenne here, this is just solid backporch bluegrass country that always makes me feel a little bit fiercer when I listen to it. Her 1998 album Car Wheels On A Gravel Road was her masterpiece, a Grammy-award winner for Best Contemporary Folk Album that needs to be listened to on [...]
C'est le 14 février prochain sur Lost Highway que sortira le 8ème album de Lucinda Williams. Baptisé West, l'album regroupe 13 chansons abordant différents thèmes dont la mort de sa mère et une récente rupture amoureuse. Cette sortie interviendra 4 ans après World Without Tears mais les fans avaient pu patienter avec un album live (Live @ The Fillmore) et plus récemment avec l'édition Deluxe de

It may sound funny to those unfamiliar with her works, but I was super excited to have Ivana XL contribute a mix to Mixmas. But for those who have experienced her songs in one way or another, it should come as no surprise that I'm a huge supporter of hers. MP3: ...
Its doesnt seem like its been 8 and a half years since Lucinda Williams became the preeminent voice of Alternative Country music with her release Car Wheels on A Gravel Road. The album, which was released 6 years after its predecessor "Sweet Old World" In the years since that wonderful release, Lucinda has dropped many memorable tunes on us but in my opinion, he has not been able to best the album that is Car Wheels. And now we have a Deluxe Edition reissue of Car Wheels, released recently under the Universal "Deluxe Edition" [...]
1998's Grammy award winning, genre classic, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road is Lucinda Williams opus -- it's her absolute masterpiece. These meticulously crafted sad, southern stories and instrumentation ultimately took three different cities and three different producers to get right . Beginning in Austin, then moving the recordings to Nashville with Steve Earle helming the controls, and finally setting up shop in Los Angeles with producer Roy Bittan . It's the L.A. sessions that became the final album we know today. [...]
