From Orange County’s OCWeekly, here is their list of five Lu songs that will “make you a fan”.
I noted with interest (and a chuckle) that one of the songs listed is “Jailhouse Tears” – the very same song another reviewer panned as “a career low” in another recently-posted article… 😉
Tom
oooh, the solo version of jailhouse tears. 😀
i think i’m more than prepared to like this song now.
I love Jailhouse Tears! My favorite from Little Honey. Although honestly I don’t think it’s a must hear for someone who’s new to her music.
Sweet Old World is, of course, rightfully on there and Side of the Road is my favorite from her self-titled album, but I don’t know if it’s one of the must hears.
For fun, I picked my ”Five Songs That I Think Will Make You a Fan” :
”Sweet Old World”
”Ugly Truth” (could.. not.. resist)
”Car Wheels” (it’s not my fav. from the album, but I do think it’s the key song of it, so there you go)
”Ventura” and
Something from Essence (really could NOT choose.. Essence? Reason to Cry?, Blue.. Are You Down? or Out of Touch).Picking five must hears from her great great fantastic back catalogue is.. hard.
Metal Firecracker, Lake Charles, Sweet Side, People Talkin, Blessed. note: this list is likely to change in 5 minutes and every 5 minutes here after as it always does. It’s why we love Ms Williams.
Lake Charles has to be in there somewhere. Maybe Bus to Baton Rouge. Ventura. Sweet Old World. Crescent City.
I have a corollary – “Five Songs That Always Choke Me Up” 😉
1. Blue
2. Bus To Baton Rogue
3. Lake Charles
4. Pineola
5. CopenhagenTom
So many to choose from, but gotta go with:
1.) Pineola
2.) Can’t Let Go
3.) Changed The Locks
4.) Righteously
5.) JoyLike someone said earlier, this is subject to change 5 minutes from now.
Top 5 for new listeners
1: Pineola
2: Blue
3: Six blocks away
4: Right in time
5: Fruits of my labourofftopic
My top 5 forever and ever 😉
1: Like a rose
2: I envy the wind
3: Sidewalks of the city
4: Everything has changed
5: VenturaYeah, Jailhouse Tears is an interesting choice for this list – I think it’s a pretty good song, but I’d neither put it in my personal top 5 nor consider it one of the 5 songs I’d play for a new fan. For me it would also depend on the audience…I’d choose different songs to introduce Lucinda’s music to a country fan than I would an indie rock fan.
My overall top 5 would be:
1. Car Wheels
2. Pineola
3. Ventura
4. Side of the Road
5. Still I Long For Your KissThey’re really in no particular order after Car Wheels, though.
Righteously
Ventura
2 Kool 2 B 4-gotten
Big Red Sun Blues
Side of the Roadthese are probably the ones that made me a fan,
might work on someone else…
