Live From Austin, TX '98 Remastered edition

Inarguably one of the best singer-songwriters of her generation, country-rock goddess Lucinda Williams toiled for decades in obscurity as a critic's darling but a commercial unknown. Although some of her earlier compositions were covered by fellow country queens Patty Loveless ("The Night's Too Long"), Mary Chapin Carpenter ('Passionate Kisses'), and Emmylou Harris ('Crescent City'), it was Williams's Grammy Award-winning 1998 masterpiece, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, that broke through to a wider audience appreciative of her blues-country-folk-rock tinged with twangy guitar, poetic lyrics, and trademark gravelly vocals. Williams is captured live in this 1998 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of her performance, featuring almost every song from CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD as well as tracks from her 1988 self-titled album and 1992's SWEET OLD WORLD.
