I had heard Lucinda Williams on the radio a lot in Houston when I was younger, but for some reason Car Wheels is the first record of hers I bought. These are amazing, simple and perfectly composed songs. "Greenville" and "Lake Charles" are two of my all-time favorites. I have read that it took six years to make this record, which seems strange when you hear it. I somehow imagine her getting in the studio and recording every song in one take. I know this is a record that got a lot of critical acclaim, but in this case I have to agree with the hype, one of the best records of the 90's and one you need in your collection.

Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
