Lucinda Williams and Elvis Costello hardly qualify as mainstream country artists, but each has absorbed traditional Southern music, written country songs and had a long affinity with Nashville. The stars of the debut episode sing two duets, Costello's "Poisoned Rose" and a fiery version of Williams' "Changed the Locks." They provide backing vocals for each other on four songs -- including a Rolling Stones cover -- and Williams' road band plays throughout.Williams, a native of Louisiana who lived in Nashville for several years, is an outsider on Music Row and mainstream country radio. However, she commands the highest respect in roots and rock music circles, and a handful of country artists have recorded her songs. Emmylou Harris has long championed Williams, recording "Crescent City" and "Sweet Old World." Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded "Passionate Kisses," earning Williams a Grammy for best country song in 1993. As a recording artist, Williams won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album for 1998's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Upon the album's release, Rolling Stone called Williams "America's greatest songwriter" and described Car Wheels on a Gravel Road as a "masterpiece" and "heartbroken country classic."Based in Ireland by way of England, Costello emerged as a chief songwriting voice of the late '70s punk and new wave explosion. He quickly shed that tag, though, and evolved into a songwriting icon in the pop field. He is revered as one of the most innovative and influential songwriters since Bob Dylan.In 1981, Costello recorded Almost Blue in Nashville with legendary country producer Billy Sherrill. The album features Costello interpreting songs by Hank Williams, Don Gibson, Gram Parsons, Charlie Rich and other country greats. His version of George Jones' "Good Year for the Roses," from the same album, was a hit record in England.

Car Wheels on A Gravel Road (Gurf Morlix Version)



This is the version of Car Wheels on A Gravel Road that Lucinda Williams scrapped before the official re-recorded album was released. Commonly referred to as the Gurf Morlix Version, it is a nice alternative to the CD that is available. I have had this CD in my collection for several years and play it as often as the latter disc. Excellent recording.

You may have gathered from comments elsewhere on this blog, that I am a fan of
Lucinda Williams music.
I was therefore delighted when I first heard this concert, I will spare you the gushing superlatives, and just say it compliments the official release 'Live at The Fillmore' recorded later the same year.
This was the first part of the press release, regarding the following show.
'Bono has been confirmed to host the debut of the new, nationally syndicated Lost Highway Radio Show, which is
scheduled to air in late August. The Lost Highway Radio Show will feature one artist per each hour-long program, recorded live in concert. The kickoff program will feature a special 90-minute concert from Lucinda Williams, recorded at New York's Bowery Ballroom on May 27, 2003
'.It is an excellent concert!The set list is as follows:1-Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
2-Fruits of My Labor
3-Those Three Days
4-Blue
5-Still I Long For Your Kiss
6-Ventura
7-Something About What Happens When We Talk
8-Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings
9-Joy
10-Band Intros
11-Over Time
12-Concrete and Barbed Wire
13-I Envy the Wind
14-Cold Cold Heart
15 intro to atonement
16-Atonement
17-Words Fell
18-outroThe audio quality is superb, you could be mistaken that it was the official master rather than taken from off air (hmmm...).
