Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1998 Grammy-winning release--Lucinda Williams's popular breakthrough--certainly merits the double-disc "deluxe edition" treatment. And it's hard to find significant fault with anything here: the remastered version of the original album, the second-disc live performance from that year featuring guitarists Kenny Vaughn and Bo Ramsey, and the smattering of outtakes (highlighted by a slower, sadder version of "Out of Touch" than the one Williams ended up releasing). Yet the set misses a glorious opportunity to document one of the more laborious (and notorious) recording projects, one that saw Williams switch cities, studios, and producers three times before she was satisfied with the results. And while the results confirm her judgment, fans would likely find it fascinating to hear a lot more takes from the original Austin sessions (featuring accordion master Flaco Jimenez and keyboardist Ian McLagan) or outtakes from the Nashville sessions with producer Steve Earle, before Williams overhauled the project in Los Angeles with Springsteen keyboardist Roy Bittan. Such a set could have put a revelatory spotlight on the creative process that resulted in an album widely regarded as Williams's masterpiece; instead, this release is more like souvenir snapshots. --Don McLeese

Album Description
Deluxe two-CD remastered version of Lucinda's classic `Car Wheels On A Gravel Road'. In addition, 3 songs have been found and added as bonus tracks - "Down The Big Road Blues", "(We Are So) Out Of Touch" - the first version later rerecorded with a different arrangement for the `Essence' album and "Still I Long For Your Kiss" - the Tony Brown produced version that was on `The Horse Whisperer' soundtrack.

Disc 2 features a previously unreleased concert from July, 1998, recorded by WXPN Radio - found and remastered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect starting point for new fans., 26 Dec 2006
Car Wheels was where my introduction to Lucinda Williams all started.Great to see it being repackaged with a bonus concert disc.Buy this and you will not be dissapointed.More than likely you will be hooked just like i was in 1998.Drunken Angel,Pineola,Metal Firecracker and Lake Charles all briliant pieces of songwriting.The only downside being the money you will need to buy the rest of her lps that you will purchase after this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeding Greatness, 18 Oct 2006
By B. Wood "Magic Brian" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When CWOAGR emerged it was only Lucinda Williams' seventh album in 25 years:not the most prolific singer/ songwriter the US has ever produced.

However if ever the epiphet Alternative Country exemplified style and substance, it was perfect for what had arrived and more importantly, what was to follow.

The album itself is basically without criticism and with the accent very much on 'alternative' , Williams produced a seminal moment in combining a disturbing sensuality with even more disturbing scenarios . Thus an opaque vision of contempary Americana emerged.

Always in a slurred Southern drawl which at times is almost as unfathomable as the atmosphere she creates, LW nevertheless is producing work that no other female artist is approaching and possibly has no wish too: In Joy and especially -from a couple of albums down the road (World without Tears)- Atonement , the guitars shudder and howl in some post Hendrix inspired lysergic breakdown and carress her vocal destruction in a gauntlet of decaying,iconic bliss.

It may have taken 25 years to start from this point, but the journey has just begun: join Ms Williams for the trip of your life!
