Query: Lucinda delivers an unpolished gem

(4 & 1/2 stars) After 1998's superb Car Wheels CD and its slightly less earth-shaking successor Essence, amazingly, this is Lucinda's third album in 4 years! It's another winner, with the casual drawl of her singing and "rapping" set against a backdrop of excellent band playing in a diverse collection of songs. The real eye-opener is the 4th track, "Real Live Bleeding Fingers And Broken Guitar Strings," a crunchy, boozy rocker that reminds me of Neil Young with Crazy Horse. The electric guitars are hot on that number, and I like the chorus harmonies too. There are also some fractured love songs (LW writes love songs unlike anybody else's), some quieter and more reflective tunes (like the title track), and just a whole lot of other good stuff. This is "roots rock" at its purest, the kind that gives the category its rep for straight-forward and honest pleasures.
