331.0. "Lucinda Williams" by MSDOA::BLAIR (Shut up and eat your notemeal) Wed Dec 02 1992 12:48

    
    
    	Well, damned if I didn't just buy my first country cd!  
    	Lucinda Williams' Sweet Ole World.  Bought it based on 
    	one tune called 'Hot Blood'.  I love it.

    Country?  hahahahahahahahahahaha
    
    She's real good, but I wouldn't call her country by a long shot.  
    
    Go buy a George Jones album and call me in the morning.
    
    						Hi Tex
    
    P.S. Didja like the Nick Drake cover (Which Will)?

    	Hahahahaha yourself! ;^)  I found it in the country section so 
    	there!  Maybe Countryish?  Maybe that's why I like it?  Also,
    	I have Mel Tillis' Faded Lights on reel to reel!

    Go check out her last album's take on Howling Wolf or her first two
    where she was doing Robert Johnson covers and tell me that's country. 
    Boy, this "new country" thing sure has me confused...I mean half of it
    is refried Southern rock or some juiced-up folk rock or some Playgirl
    centerfold wearing a Stetson.
    
    "Sweet Old World" is a great album, whatever you want to call it.  I
    found my copy in the rock bin.  Believe it or not, RCA sat on this
    album for *two years* claiming it wasn't commercial enough...sheesh. 
    You should pick up "Lucinda Williams" as well, now that it's back in
    print.
    
    Didja know her bass player is a chiropractor who used to play with Huey
    Lewis and was on the first Elvis Costello album?  Whaddya think of that
    Gurf Morlix?  
    
    Etc.

    If you like "Sweet Old WOrld", you'll *love* the self-titled "Lucinda
    Williams."

331.5Folk?MRKTNG::MILNEWed Dec 09 1992 13:209
    It is hard to classify her.  I found my copy of Sweet Old World in the
    Folk section.  
    
    I agree with comments about "Lucinda Williams" - great.  One reviewer
    made it his best release (all genres) of 1989.
    
    If anyone knows when she'll be in the Boston area please post it here.

    Re: .5
    
    You just missed her, she was in town about a month ago.  Played a free
    concert at HMV in Harvard Square plus a show at one of the clubs,
    forget which.

    She opened for Graham Parker (still haven't figgered this one out!) at
    the Paradise during the early Fall, and played at Nightstage
    mid-November.

331.8Cover of "Passionate Kisses"TECRUS::ROSTGive me Beefheart or give me deathMon Feb 01 1993 18:394
    Just heard somebody covering "Passionate Kisses" on the radio last
    night...any idea who this was?  Female vocalist, that's all I know.

    RE: .8
    
      Hi Brian,
    
      It was probably Mary Chapin Carpenter. I'm pretty sure that she did
      the cover version of "Passionate Kisses" that I heard recently on the
      radio.

    It is Mary Chaplin Carpenter and by the way ther CD with that song on
    it is excellent.

331.11Lucinda who ???SUBSYS::GODINMon Feb 22 1993 20:317
    It was Mary Chapin Carpenter. My "garage" band just learned it. I saw
    LW on Austin City Limits (PBS CH 44) & flipped over the song, but I
    couldn't remember Lucinda Williams' name. When a friend lent me the MCC
    CD, I heard it & learned it in 5 minutes. Now if I can only get the
    rest of my band to take the song seriously.
    I guess Lucinda isn't considered "Counrty" everywhere, I browsed
    through twice my weight in C&W CD's to no avail looking for her.
