The moment
Lucinda Williams spent decades being called a perfectionist like it was a flaw — six years between albums, songs rewritten until they bled — and then Car Wheels on a Gravel Road proved the method by becoming an American classic. By 2011 she was touring Blessed in her late-career groove: the great poet of Southern longing playing a converted New Hampshire theater, catalog deep enough that every setlist disappointed someone. Some artists you see for the new record; Lucinda you see for the sentences.
From the time
- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
“The 1998 masterpiece that vindicated her famous slowness — the reason every later show sold.”
