My favorite female singer/songwriter of all times AND wearing a T-Shirt of my favorite band of all times, Lynyrd Skynyrd!! (i have that same shirt). I can only imagine what a lucinda williams and ronnie van zant duet would be like. Lu and Ronnie are the two absolute best songwriters who had/have the uncanny ability to write the truth about their lives, life and experiences. Working class people. Love, tragedy, the road. Loss, forgiveness, addiction, violence, sorrow, broken deams, broken friendships, good friends and family. Would a Lucinda Williams and Ronnie Van Zant album not be freekin' incredible?
Hide your background, hide your fame Hide your given middle name Swallow your pride, swallow your pills In your house up in the hills Leave your husband, leave your wife Keep on runnin' your whole life Sweep your dirt under the rug Fix your hurt with a little love From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories And that's the truth, my friend The ugly truth, my friend I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth Keep your secrets to yourself Keep your paperbacks up on the shelf Burn your bridges, burn your friends Blow 'em kisses and make amends Take the high road or take the low No one but you and God will ever know And you might play rough and win or lose Either way, love, you'll get the blues From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories And that's the truth, my friend The ugly truth, my friend I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth
Thank you..Lucinda! Sometimes the Ugly Truth can end up mighty Beautiful! Thank you as an Auntie letting my babies know that excessing through music, dance, and life experiences is the way to be Free thank You for thinking out the box and letting Go and Allowing God
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LUCINDA one of my all time favorite songwriters and performers only a handful of the best of the best equal or in Ray Davies case top her since he tops everyobody!

i caught her eye once at a gig me she didnt know but her i did the strings her voice her words reached inside to the place where a woman can change a man
I like that thought. That is quite a lovely thought coming from the guy. I know that sounds dumb but I think you know what I mean. Peace and blessings to you.
They're very different, both phenomenal. Her songs touch me in a deeper place overall, but his do to. His songs have more levity and humor. As a singer she's better. But, who needs better than they both touch us deeply.
Sorry but no.She is great but bought GPs at the time and its still the best. Next is Scottish bloke Davie Craig who used to sing it at the Hare and Hounds in London with the late RobinMcKidd.
Hey Kids, don't make the same mistake that I did! Take those ghosts out of the closet, hang 'em up on a clothes line and disinfect them with sunlight. Sit back in a deck chair with a cool beverage and watch 'em blow in the breeze! You gotta look at this "truth stuff" or it'll haunt you forever . . .
Another under-appreciated mini masterpiece
...be well Lucinda. We need you..more than ever. And that's the truth...
There’s no genre to put Lucinda’s music It’s just the truth my friend
I have listened 16 times caint find nothing wrong
That girl must have issues she can not face
Love the truth
When it comes my time to check out I'll know the world was beautiful. Ugly truth and all, thank you Lucinda.
This woman gets more beautiful from the inside out. May God bless her and may He show us great things from all of us. And Lucinda.
Lucinda please take care of your health, take it easy we don’t want to lose another loving artist, we just lost Nanci Griffith!
Lucinda feels, writes, sings, and strums the best dang country blues songs hands down!
Just Lucinda and her acoustic guitar....so great...she is the best singer songwriter of all time!
Agreed, just wonderful
SHE SURE CAN MAKE A SONG WORTH LISTENING TO.
You ain't kiddin
Sweep your dirt,
under the rug
fix your heart,
with a little love,
take the high road,
or take the low,
nobody but you,
and God will ever know.
one of her very best songs - no superlative does it justice
I have listened to this song 50+ times in a row now. Powerful!
Also, her boots are super cool.
Why isn't she in The Country Music Hall of Fame?
me too...
Sad but true my friend….. that’s Lucinda, sad, true and sweet.

I keep doing that with all her songs protection and am I too blue oh heck just everything cannot listen to too much Lucinda. And THAT'S the truth
I love you Lu
Love this woman
Hide your background, hide your fame
Hide your given middle name
Swallow your pride, swallow your pills
In your house up in the hills
Leave your husband, leave your wife
Keep on runnin' your whole life
Sweep your dirt under the rug
Fix your hurt with a little love
From the cradle to the grave
You will always be a slave
To the quiet darkness of your memories
And that's the truth, my friend
The ugly truth, my friend
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
Keep your secrets to yourself
Keep your paperbacks up on the shelf
Burn your bridges, burn your friends
Blow 'em kisses and make amends
Take the high road or take the low
No one but you and God will ever know
And you might play rough and win or lose
Either way, love, you'll get the blues
From the cradle to the grave
You will always be a slave
To the quiet darkness of your memories
And that's the truth, my friend
The ugly truth, my friend
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
Amazing song!, love it, just beautiful
Lovin you to infinity, beautiful lady!!! Sing it, Lucinda!
From cradle to grave... that's the truth

@Sharon Bell me too
I caught her eye once and she actually smiled at me and I've never forgotten that connection and everything it meant in that moment.
Awesome!
I like that thought. That is quite a lovely thought coming from the guy. I know that sounds dumb but I think you know what I mean. Peace and blessings to you.
simply the best!
What a difference a year can make. In 2010, at George's Majestic, you could hardly hear her. The audience must have grown up.
Your songs are beautiful 😘
Yes THE BEST Lucinda as always!!!
The female country outlaw! If Hank jr and Delta blues had a baby
Just bloody lovely!

Bam Miller having just said goodbye to one legend, you are correct my friend.
😲😥🕊️✝️
Can I have a drone?
Makes me happy I can’t remember anything 😂
Everyone needs to listen to her version of "A Song for You." I think it is better than Grahm's.
Sorry but no.She is great but bought GPs at the time and its still the best. Next is Scottish bloke Davie Craig who used to sing it at the Hare and Hounds in London with the late RobinMcKidd.
When i burn my bridges . I forgive you. Sorry im not looking to rebuild!
Plenty of fucked up people out there and this nails it..
Can I walk about?
Hide my stuff.
Jeff and Ron wants it.

No matter how far you run, there you are.
So very true.
She did not lie. Just saying.
Beatles
What about them?

She could be my next wife, if she plays her cards right.
You wish. Get in line, sucka
