I been listening to the new Lucinda Williams double cd since Friday.. its about 85 minutes long and might have two-three songs that qualify as medium tempo rockers.. the rest is really slow. narcoleptic.. different kind of music but produces an effect like mazzy star..... the songs go on forever.. two great guitarists (frisell and leisz) on almost every track creating some nice atmospherics.. a good Springsteen cover..a Woody Guthrie poem she set to her own music....I guess the album kind of reminds me of Nebraska too
ANyways, surprisingly I'm kind of digging it..I usually dislike the slow stuff.... its an album that is going to take a lot of listens though to reveal itself..because at first listen its like one long slow song..
MY copy from Newbury Comics is signed on the insert.. does it make it sound better? no, but since I been listening to her pretty much since about 1993-4..its nice..
