Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road" is an album that sounds like it has been around for decades.
The track listing is made up of instant classics, like the title track, "Right in Time," "Greenville," and "Lake Charles," songs that walk the thin lines of blues, country, and rock. There are songs about love and personal relationships, with a lyricism to match her great father's poetry.
I think that this album features more complexity and a fuller sound than "Bookends," but never reaches the heights of either "Tapestry" or "Tea for the Tillerman."
