@immatthewj: Thanks for the reminder of Lucinda's "Essence", a fantastic pick. Her singing on the song is absolutely salacious (on the entire song, but especially when she sings "Please come find me and help me.....get f*cked up"), with lots of double entendre lyrics. And musically the song is a deep, deep Bluesy Rocker. One of my very favorite songs of hers, and I've been a fan since seeing her live in the mid-80's in very small venues around Los Angeles, then getting her s/t Rough Trade album when it was released in 1988. For a more romantic rather than sexual song, her "West" is as good as it gets. The song also features superb drumming by Jim Keltner (big surprise

"I take off my watch and my earrings Think about you and that long ride Right In Time/Lucinda Williams @bdp24 , how about Hot Blood off of the Sweet Old World CD? Or maybe the imagery that The Night's Too Long (from the self titled CD) evokes? (Not that I am a fan of Lucinda or anything like that, LOL.)

Dang @immathewj, another great one! In "Right In Time" Lu is very direct in her expressing her desires, ain’t she?! And hearing "Hot Blood" always brings me back to those early shows I saw, with Gurf Morlix on guitar, Donald Lindley on drums (now RIP), and Dr. John on bass. Last time I saw that lineup was at The Troubadour. Lu was playing a big ol’ acoustic guitar, with a music stand sitting directly in front of her. On the stand was a 3-ring binder filled with 8-1/2 x 11 pages of paper, each with a song on it. As she and the band finished one song, she turned the page to the next song. Adorable.

). On the same album (West) is the sweetly romantic "Where Is My Love", which brings me to tears with every hearing.- 27 posts total
