Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
So far I'm liking it a lot. I wasn't sure what to expect going in and they have exceeded my expectations. Coldplay is one of those bands that impacted my musical tastes a lot in high school, but for the past few years I haven't really payed attention to - that will change with this album. Lately it's really cool to rip on Coldplay, but I will be the first to say that this is a great album. "Lost!" gets the vote for most likely to be sampled by Kanye West.
Although I've had the record for a while, last week I just started to pay attention to Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. It's a great album and everyone should go listen to it. I can already tell that it's turning into my "summer album". Every summer it seems that there is an album that stands above the rest. Last year's was Sky Blue Sky by Wilco.
The new Coldplay album comes out tomorrow.
The new Amos Lee album comes out next Tuesday.
The new Ray LaMontagne album comes out in September.
Ryan Adams is working on his new album.
