"The first half of, eagle, was great, but overall, I think this is a more consistent record from start to finish. She seems to get better as she gets older, although those Laurel Canyon obsessions still shine brightly, albeit quite beautiful. A very good album."  Reply

"There aren't many artists that can keep such a high level of level of inspiration as Lucinda Williams. Now into her fourth decade as a recording artist, Williams says she finds inspiration and comfort in NOT getting comfortable. She describes this record as Car Wheels on a Gravel Road part 2, exc..."  [+]  Reply

"Sometimes an album comes out of nowhere and just steals your heart. You didn’t see it coming. You didn’t expect it. The crush starts off unassumingly enough. But then it grows. It creeps under you skin and forges with your muscles, with your tissues. Its just one of those albums that gets better ..."  [+]  Reply

"If you don't know one of Brazil's greatest singers - and possibly one of the greatest of all time - Elis Regina, you should start with this album, named after one of her most successful tours.

"I owned and played this album quite a few times way way back in the early 70's. One of the first 'super groups' (although Kooper, Still & Bloomfield never took part collectively on any of the album songs).
