Lucinda Williams - Live From Austin 1998 [2005, Folk Rock, Country Rock, DVD5]

A thrilling and often beautiful concert sitting unseen in a vault for a number of years, Williams'
folk-country cult status expanded into the mainstream with Patty Loveless' 1990 cover of "The Night's
Too Long," and her back catalog became highly sought after when Mary Chapin Carpenter's 1993 cover of
"Passionate Kisses" hit the top five, and won the songwriter a Grammy. But it was another five years
before Williams finished and issued her followup, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," and it's at the point
of that 1998 re-emergence that she made this appearance, her third, on Austin City Limits.
Lucinda Williams: Live from Austin, TX is the Louisiana-born singer-songwriter's complete, pre-edited
performance from a 1998 appearance on Austin City Limits. With its 16 well-chosen songs, largely culled
from Williams's most rewarding material since the 1980s, Live is indispensable for longtime fans and a
great introduction to her unique artistry for the uninitiated. Williams's deceptively plain-spoken,
sometimes conversational lyrics about losses and passages and elusive touchstones of happiness are
marvels of instant resonance, transcending minimalist imagery and fragmentary refrains. Surrounded
by a small, guitar army and sometimes hypnotic rhythm section, Williams fills out "Metal Firecracker"
with a vintage country folk & rock sound, raises the extraordinary "Drunken Angel" and "Greenville"
to new heights, and delivers--with a voice as lovely as a bell--a stirring performance on "Sweet Old
World." Lest we forget her appreciation of the Doors, "Joy" brings the show to a head with its gritty,
shamanic blues and evocative promises ("I'm gonna go to West Memphis and find my joy") that make one
want to jump with excitement.
