Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
: 's Best of 1998:Six years in the making, Car Wheels somehow lives up to its lofty expectations because of Williams's direct songwriting and her wonderfully unaffected vocals. With assistance from cohorts such as Steve Earle, Williams uses the acoustic accents of Dobros, mandolins, slide guitars, and accordions to add color to her grooves, whispers, and rumbles. Her lyrics are undisguised as she presents to us the travelogue of her memory. We can't wait for 2004! --Marc Greilsamer Amazon.com essential recording:Lucinda Williams makes this whole music thing seem so simple: Write in plain language ...

Now That I've Found You: A Collection
: essential recording:A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of 'Baby, Now That I've Found You,' a carousing late-'60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in ...

I, Flathead
: :Ry Cooder’s I, Flathead, is the culmination of his ambitious and fascinating 'California Trilogy,' the last of three albums in which the singer and guitarist journeys through the real and imagined history of mid-20th century, multi-ethnic California, sampling the sounds of its barrios and byways, its nightclubs and honkytonks. He encounters the disenfranchised, the hopeful, the cheerfully strange and seriously nefarious, along with the occasional alien who races around in a souped-up flying saucer on the desert salt flats. On previous installments, Chávez Ravine (2005) and My Name Is Buddy (2007), learning the ...

Hank III Collector's Edition
:Album Description:Limited edition tin with three CD set. Parental Advisory for Explicit Content. As the name indicates, Hank Williams III is the third in a line of country music royalty, son of Hank Williams Jr. and grandson to the man they simply called Hank. While Hank III is certainly as much of a hell-raiser as his pop and grandaddy, his style of music owes much more of a debt to the traditional styles of Hank I than the rowdy country-rock of his father. That said, Hank III has a rock-&-roll spirit previously unimaginable ...
