Lucinda Williams

This taping was taken from the popular half-hour Austin City Limits show. Recorded December 5, 1998, this DVD includes all the songs originally broadcast, plus never before heard or seen material from the tapings. This acoustically-inclined set captures the sultry Williams at her best, coming off her win at the Grammy Awards for Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Not surprisingly, most of the songs from this award-winning disc are played here, including a rousing version of the title track. Some older classics such as "Changed the Locks" and "Pineola" are revived with the songstress delivering gritty and guttural version of both. (New West, www.newwestrecords.com)
