Well borrowing heavily from other blogs out there, I’m going to start a feature here at the Lounge called (creatively enough) “Song of the Week”.

This week’s song comes from a artist that needs know introduction (god, I sound like a bad MTV vj), Lucinda Williams. Do you ever listen to a song several times before you actually hear what it is saying? Well that was the case with this song. I had listened to this entire live concert as a whole, but hadn’t really sat down and processed the songs on an individual level. The honest, down to earth grittiness of this song has really made it a regular on my playlist for the last week or more. Enjoy!

And if you enjoyed that song, check out Lucinda’s new album Live @ The Fillmore. This album was recorded in 2004 and captures the passion of Lucinda’s live shows.
