Standout track on an album


In reacquainting myself over the past 24 hours with all the Lucinda Williams albums in my possession, I find myself unable to get enough of her song "Essence" off the album of the same title. A killer song, and maybe her sexiest lyrics and vocal ever. And that’s saying something!

Hey bdp - I personally think West is a strong album.  The good news, as you know, with Tidal and Spotify and the like, you can check out an entire album and decide if it's a "must buy" for you...more critical for folks committed to vinyl, I suppose.   I have not kept up with LW after "Blessed" (which I like).  Need to hear Spirit/Bone and Ghosts/Highway.

Have quite a few of Lucinda's recordings, though not Essence, as it turns out.   Some gaps to be filled.  

FWIW, two standout tracks for me are "Pineola" from Sweet Old World and "Unsuffer Me" from West.

bdp - It's interesting to read how we prioritize music purchases.  If you can find West for audition at B&N - great.  If not, I do think it's worth that $10 gamble.
