    I cannot compare them in quality, but the way i prefer to listen now is:

    1. Folk/Blues
    2. Post car wheels
    3. Smooth.

    How bout you?

    I’d definitely go with # 1 Marc.The Blues
    A little background here.
    Lucinda’s 2nd night benefit concert in Chicago May 22/11 was called “Ballads and Blues” and Tom Overby had it professionally recorded (audio only). Perhaps someday we’ll get to hear it.

    Here is a quote from Tom Overby from an earlier discussion:

    She will almost definitely do a blues album someday, it is something she has been wanting to do for a long time–but it will not be this next record.

    And since you mentioned “Happy Woman Blues” as a favorite of yours. ( Album was actually recorded in Houston, TX), let’s look at a very happy woman on stage with Joe Ely from the Houston International Festival earlier this year.
    Song is (I believe) a Townes Van Zandt cover “White Freightliner Blues”

    By the way a belated welcome to Lu’s friendly forum Marc.
    Did you happen to catch any of her Swedish tour Oct./Nov 2007 ? Stockholm, Malmo and Gothenberg.

    Great link! Sweet sounding music, I should check out Joe Ely.

    Thanks! But that was before my time, i’m only 23 and i’ve been listening for maybe 2 years, so i can’t ask for too much. Maybe i’ll go see my sister who lives in toronto if lucinda’s going there sometime…

    Great to hear that she would like to do a blues album… her voice has matured and would fit those old songs even better now 😛

    totally forgot to get back here and give you a straight anwer, but:

    1. smooth
    2. post-CW
    3. folk/blues

    although i fail to see an “era” in each of those. i’ll get back here in a few days/weeks to give you a proper answer.
