I love artists who are authentic and not some corporate creation. The corporate creation people shouldn't be referred to as artists. Lucinda is definitely a real artist worth listening to.
America's greatest living female recording artist. Hands down. Anyone who knows anything about music would tell you the same thing. One of the last of the 'real deals'--and whether she sells 50K or 5million albums, her songs resonate. To paraphrase her friend Mr Young, "long may she run."
As a 20 year old who grew up with my parents listening to her. She is fantastic I never truly understood her music until I grew up but now that I’m old enough it all makes sense she is nothing short of excellence.
I discovered Lucinda Williams on an Austin City Limits show, which featured Bruce Cockburn, Rosanne Cash, and herself. I’d never heard of Lucinda before - but I became an instant fan. Rosanne said, “if this music thing doesn’t work out for me, I think I’ll just become a Lucinda groupie” - made me laugh
"Lucinda Williams - Sweet Old World (1992) 1992 A student radio program I listen to while working in the garage gets me interested in "Countryish" and female artists. This is heart-wrenching and emotional music." From a biographical list of mine. I am a great admirer of her ability to express her own emotions in a way that strikes a chord with the listener. I like "The Night's Too Long".
She is my all time favorite. I've seen her live many times simce the 90's and she came into a bar I was at in Nashville once and walked up to our table and said hello to one of my friemds who had played guitar with her. I was so awe struck thaty hero was standing there, I just froze.
I loved this interview. Lucinda seems so humble and I've heard of her, but I don't really know any of her songs, but loved what I heard of Passionate Kisses. Really enjoyed this piece and will be researching Lucinda's music. Those legal pads are used by both artists featured on your show today. By the way, today's episode was one of my favorites. So many interesting stories. Thank you for a great show. It starts my Sunday off just right!
If you listen to the entire Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album start to finish more than a couple times, it will quickly become one you'll continue to listen to over and over. I bought the CD in 1999 and still listen to it regularly today.
She is the real Queen of Americana. There may be younger and more well known female artists running around with stadiums full of fans, but none even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Lucinda Williams.
Thanks for putting her in the spotlight where she belongs. Will forever cherish the Ark shows in Ann Arbor. Meeting Stu while doing his own pre show tuning was cool also!!!!
Found Lucinda over 20 years ago when I listened to Happy Woman Blues, been hooked ever since. Have seen her twice and is on my bucket list to hear her live somewhere in Louisiana 🤗 7:42
One of my all-time favorite concert moments was a birthday gift from my wife --- front row center at the Ryman Auditorium to see Lucinda. The number of famous people in the audience was awe inspiring. From music writers, singers, and performers to White House politicians, senators, mayors, etc., to actors, actresses, and directors. It was a heady mi of artists and patrons packing the sold out Ryman. You could look back at the sweet seats and see all of the famous people there for a taste of brilliance. I've seen Lucinda 7 times now. Never a bad show.
We've got so much great music in this country -- I wish we'd bring it back to our schools, support our artists, and have outlets to express ourselves in healthy ways and to be inspired by the thoughts and emotions of others. Lucinda is a class act. I'm thrilled CBS interviewed her and this got 65K views at this moment in time. America did one thing better than anyone else: make the best damn music this earth has ever created. Wish we could get behind how awesome that is. That inspired people more in this world than our military ever did.
Right so. No better representative of what the best American can be. Politicians are embarrassing. Like loud fast talkin radio and TV people bombarding us with useless news advertising info- mercials and toxic shopping. Lucinda generates the good.
Saw her live when she was touring with Neil Young"s Greendale's Tour on Aug 6 2003 in the Woodlands TX. She opened for him,. I was 14 Years Old. My dad and I were like "Holy Buckets" She is good. He went out and bought a couple of her albums. Good to see her get the recognition she deserves as the poet she truly is.
In the car this morning with my19-year-old ADHD/OCD/ASD son, her song Those Three Days came on Pandora and my son said "Who is this? This is good!" So I played a couple songs for him. He's a fan now.
I used to watch Sunday morning faithfully because of good stories like this one. Now you have to watch 3 or 4 shows to get one good story. Glad this one caught my eye on CZcams or i would have missed it. To me most of the show now is about left and right issues and not anything interesting.
Love Lucinda Williams. Wish I would've told her when I saw her last but I was too buzzed by the end of her set. Amazes me how many people still don't know who she is but at the same time like it. It's like I belong to a special club. Like living in Montana. You want people to know about it's beauty, you just don't want em' all moving in.
I first met Lucinda back in Austin in the early 80's. I had a brief affair with her roommate. Very sweet woman, I never saw her without her notebook and she was constantly writing. You'd see her in bars, in the back, writing away while others were performing. She lived off of nothing: the good graces of her friends who let her crash and fed her. She certainly had no money at the time. She continued to live that way for another 20 years until she finally hit it big.
Lucinda defines Americana, an original if ever there was one.
Love Lucinda!
She always has the best band playing behind her.
I love Lucinda. I didn’t know she had a stroke. Hang tough sweet lady.
She had the stroke when she was getting ready to shower...
Her husband found her on the floor...
Can you imagine that?
She's a true original, and I love her SO SO SO MUCH!!. Lucinda Williams is a national treasure️.
I love artists who are authentic and not some corporate creation. The corporate creation people shouldn't be referred to as artists. Lucinda is definitely a real artist worth listening to.
Maybe say Taylor Swift is a little of both? Still, Lucinda is a true Queen
Totally agree. Artists are real: Ann Wilson, Cher, Lucinda Williams, Alanis Morissette, and so many more. They’re genuine, and I love that.
Lucinda Williams is a national treasure❤☮️🎸🇺🇸
Lucindas light shines in the dark.
❤
I love her Smithsonian Folkways album Happy Woman Blues. Early Lucinda from her roots.❤
One of the greatest American songwriters over the last 60 years. I’ve been lucky to have seen her live a few times. I wish her a speedy recovery.
She’s always had only the best of band members, so obviously she’s well respected amongst her peers.
If ever there were a more deserving KENNEDY CENTER nominee...
That's a complete understatement! She' has always says she loves songs..yeah, sing the Chrome off of a trailer hitc, according to emmylou.
I love the way her voice sounds with Bruce Springsteen's! Would love a whole Gram & Emmylou-style album of Lucinda-Bruce duets!
She's a true original, and I love her SO SO SO MUCH!!

Yes yes yes. Lucinda is just awesome.
As a 20 year old who grew up with my parents listening to her. She is fantastic I never truly understood her music until I grew up but now that I’m old enough it all makes sense she is nothing short of excellence.
Car wheels on a gravel road, I jump to hear it every time it comes on.
I have spent countless hours with Lucinda’s music. And much of it is active listening, not just playing it in the background. She’s one in a trillion!
Lucinda is a true gift. If you like music you LOVE this woman.
She’s one of a kind
Hanging out with dad's poet friends is a pretty beatnick thing, I think it showed-up in her music. She is amazing.
I’ve been a fan of Lucinda since about 1992. There’s no other songwriter or singer or live performer like her.
an incredibly inspiring songwriter and lyricist
Heal all the way my dear Lucinda! So grateful for all the gifts you’ve bestowed on us!
Lucinda Williams is super talented.
Thank you for recognizing her! She's always been tried & true.
Lucinda is such a talented word smith and singer. She still looks beautiful too.
Strokes are tough, real tough...Day at a time....love Lucinda ❤...great supporting artists,great bands... keep on rocking... national treasure
Emmylou & Linda often remind me of one another. Such purity.
I play her CD's quite often. The music never ages. The daughter of a poet, explains a lot.
Love her performance on Austin City Limits from the nineties
She’s simply spectacular!
One of my all-time favorites.
Fun fact: Rolling Stone magazine called Car Wheels on a Gravel Road an Essential Recording of the 90s.
… as it says in this video 😊
rolling stone magazine is trash
Her songs definitely speak to me in a deep, powerful , and personal way.
I could not have said this any better!
Lovely. You did Lucinda just, Lee Cowan. 💕
Love her cartwheels on a gravel road was the best CD. That's when I found Lucinda Williams
Wow what a poet !
One of the all time best. I have listened and I love all of Lucinda’s music.❤❤❤keep rocking grrrrllll

She is Legendary

I like "The Night's Too Long".
She is absolutely genius at making music.
She definitely has guts and drive. She busked in Austin on Guadalupe.
She's a good writer.

What a treasure she is
😢 I love her music so much ❤️ and her deep , sweet soul✨
She's the poet songwriter we all have in our hearts..she was able to get it out an on paper.. love her❤
John Prine is how I found Lucinda. Thanks John, I miss you
Truly gifted. I feel her songs in my bones.
I loved this interview. Lucinda seems so humble and I've heard of her, but I don't really know any of her songs, but loved what I heard of Passionate Kisses.

Also listen to Mary Chapin Carpenter who recorded Passionate Kisses . She's a singer/songwriter who is well respected and entertaining .
Someone to look up to, such a talent. 💝💝Hope I'm making an album at 70.
OMG, I love her music.
Love Lucinda!!! She is all that!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘
Bravo, Lucinda! Your second wind will b your best!
Reason to cry and Overtime get me everytime.😊
She is the real Queen of Americana. There may be younger and more well known female artists running around with stadiums full of fans, but none even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Lucinda Williams.
These are the stories I want . Thank you .
Thanks for putting her in the spotlight where she belongs. Will forever cherish the Ark shows in Ann Arbor. Meeting Stu while doing his own pre show tuning was cool also!!!!

Really enjoyed this interview. I like that she talks how she sings.
living Angel. Love you, Lu!
Hasn't gotten enough attention for her music and gifts!!!

Beautiful. I love you Lu!!!!
I was lucky enough to see Lucinda in the 90s. She was quite enjoyable and I only wonder why it took so long to get this acclaim
an incredibly inspiring songwriter and lyricist. She always has the best band playing behind her..

sadly the country has changed,,,more important now to shove sexuality at adolescents,,,third graders as a whole cant read,write or do simple math
Right so.
No better representative of what the best American can be.
Politicians are embarrassing.
Like loud fast talkin radio and TV people bombarding us with useless news advertising info- mercials and toxic shopping.
Lucinda generates the good.
I've never heard of her! She's awesome! I'm looking forward to hearing her songs! Thanks 😊
She's got tons of great songs. You are in for a treat.
Start with car wheels on a gravel road,essence, sweet old world , world without tears
Listen to "Lake Charles". A deep song about her friend who committed suicide.
Saw her live when she was touring with Neil Young"s Greendale's Tour on Aug 6 2003 in the Woodlands TX. She opened for him,. I was 14 Years Old. My dad and I were like "Holy Buckets" She is good. He went out and bought a couple of her albums.
Good to see her get the recognition she deserves as the poet she truly is.
Wow she’s surprisingly humble.
I would consider her live at the filmore one of the best albums i have ever heard.
I've been binging on it all week!
She's amazing! Love her so much. Sorry to hear about her health issues 😢
World without Tears is such an underrated album. Start to finish.
PREACH
Magnificent 🙏
❤Got My Copy Today in Peoria Illinois. Barnes and Noble... Oui Saw this Tv piece Last Week❤Thank You❤
Lucinda is one incredible singer, rocker, blues singer who has exceptional talent as a writer . I have seen her several times over the last 30 years !
In the car this morning with my19-year-old ADHD/OCD/ASD son, her song Those Three Days came on Pandora and my son said "Who is this? This is good!" So I played a couple songs for him. He's a fan now.
Sure, great songwriting. But listen to her voice. Her "instrument" is just so harmonically rich and beautiful. Listen, it's amazing. Love Lucinda.
Thou bright and shining light...
I love her
I used to watch Sunday morning faithfully because of good stories like this one. Now you have to watch 3 or 4 shows to get one good story. Glad this one caught my eye on CZcams or i would have missed it. To me most of the show now is about left and right issues and not anything interesting.
One the most talented songwriters to ever do it.
Ann Wilson loves her !

Fantastic!
the lady willie nelson one of The best artist alive
I worked on the Passionate Kisses video. It was great to see a moment of it here.
Favorite Lucinda Williams lyrics? East Side of Town. Favorite tune ever? Passionate Kisses.
respect! 👍
No mention of "Sweet Old World" ? Quite an omission of an outstanding song.
Lovely…
Nice story
