In my opinion, this is one of Lucinda’s top two albums, only behind Car Wheels. Great songs, great singing. A really solid album.
Was “World Without Tears” and ” Little Honey” promoted as being released at one point. For some reason I was thinking it was advertised through Lost Highway early on this year.
I believe the only Lucinda LPs being reissued are “World Without Tears” and “Little Honey” both on clear vinyl.
http://www.losthighwaystore.com/Ok, here’s mine. This was in the early 1980’s, I was about 4 or 5. My great grandmother lived in Flippin, Arkansas (North Central Arkansas). We lived in Picher, Oklahoma so it was about a 4 hr drive. With the way my grandpa would drive and the stops we made, it would take about 6. We’d usually stop and buy apples, go to Dogpatch USA http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/Dogpatch%20USA.htm in Harrison or Land of Kong http://secretfunspot.blogspot.com/2008/03/abandoned-dinosaur-world.html in Eureka.
Not much ever changed in Flippin. It was a rural town. My great-grandma was in her 80’s, widowed and dipped snuff, great woman. Some of the rooms had newspaper for wallpaper (if I remember correctly) and a huge feather bed in the living room. Sounds strange but cool for a 5 year old.
She made everything from scratch and bacon grease. So the entire house smelled like coffee eggs and bacon. I remember her dog Rover and a yard full of chickens.All the visuals of that age come back when I heard “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road”. The car ride, the telephone wires going buy, the smells etc.
All this reminiscing makes me want to go back to Dogpatch or start dippin snuff. lol
@TomO Glad you, Lu and the band made it back safely. It has been a crazy year for weather. I can’t believe Joplin. I grew up in Picher, Oklahoma (about 30 mins away from Joplin). Picher was completely destroyed 3 years ago this may and now is just a ghost town. It is all really sad.
The south side of Stillwater got hit by a small twister. Luckily we didn’t get any damage.
Not trying to give tmi or get a pitty party, but this album really hit home. I had just lost my mom to an overdose a year or so before this came out. Songs like “Are You Alright?”, “Fancy Funeral” and “Mama You Sweet” really got me good. and still do.
