"Five Songs That Will Make You a Fan"

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.

1. Blue
2. Sweet Old World
3. Essence
4. Pineola
5. Greenville

So many to choose from, but gotta go with:

1.) Pineola
2.) Can’t Let Go
3.) Changed The Locks
4.) Righteously
5.) Joy

Like someone said earlier, this is subject to change 5 minutes from now.

Yeah, 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 Kiss

They’re really in no particular order after Car Wheels, though.

Essence Blue Lake Charles Greenville Broken Butterflies. Butterflies is simply the most hypnotic song you’ll ever here, anytime, anywhere. Rock on Lucinda!
