this new album rocks!

Gravel Roads. I totally agree, been listening to it for two hours now. I guess my addiction is showing. I’ll repost my writeup from page 10 of the Little Honey tab becuase I think this page is going to get hit a lot this week:

I just ran out to pick up Honeybee from the mall. I’m listening to “Knowing” as I’m typing. What a great song, its so beautifully produced, her voice sounds so good, and the instruments sound so professionally played. I’ve heard many of the songs off the album this summer during the JCM tour, but the newly released songs are awesome. Well Well Well has such great guitar work by Chet and Doug, its a classic already. I thought it was a cover of an old blues hit, but looking at the CD it seems to be a new song. And for those whining about missing her old stuff, the knowing song sounds like something that could have been off the self titled album, the first I ever owned. Heaven Blues sounds like an extension of Get Right With God off her Essence album. And though I never heard the whole song until tonight, of course Rarity will become a classic Lucinda Williams song. Finally, I’m listening to Plan to Marry and I can tell its an important song. I need to listen to it a few more times to understand what she is saying. It seems like a protest song.

I’ll be seeing her with some old friends up in Columbus tomorrow night. I hope no water pipes burst or anything like that.

Tom Overby – This is an awesome production. I have to listen to each song closely, and each time I do I pick up another instrument, horns, bells, gongs, background vocals. Is there any way I can meet Lucinda? Before or after show events? Do I need to buy passes? Let me know how to do that if its an option. Am I too late for Columbus?stevarino
