The YouTube availability of Lucinda Williams’ music is a mixed bag. Her whole early career is there for the taking, as well as her most recent album. But there’s a two-album stretch of songs that is blocked at every turn. I mention this because I’m straying a bit from the one album per day pattern in order to fill in those gaps.
So today’s song is another from Williams’ classic self-titled album. That record is probably best known for yesterday’s song, ‘Passionate Kisses,’ as well as the sublime ‘Side of the Road,’ which I featured on this blog last October.

It was eight years before Lucinda Williams put out another album. Eight years! Whether that was due to choice or bad luck, I don’t know, but when she finally did release her follow-up to Happy Woman Blues, it was well worth the wait.
