 RollingStone.com: Car Wheels On A Gravel Road : Lucinda Williams : Review
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, the album that Mercury bought from American Recordings' Rick Rubin (who mixed all but one track), was a legendary six years in the making.
Williams is such a perfectionist that she recorded it from scratch twice and then folded in more guest solos and recut vocals than even long-suffering co-producer Roy Bittan could fully digest – always with the perverse goal of making it sound less produced.
Not only is Car Wheels on a Gravel Road more perfect than the two albums that preceded it, which English grammar declares an impossibility, but it achieves its perfection by being more imperfect.

 BARRY'S NOTES - November 18, 2001
With Essence, Williams leaves the dusty highways she explored on Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, her 1998 major-breakthrough album, and plops down feverishly in a motel bedroom to wallow in sweat and reflection.
With the release of the much-anticipated follow-up to her 1998 landmark "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," Williams has fallen in love with boxing and is ready to continue her musical fights.
The Car Wheels material by contrast crackled with life, including the jangly, picturesque title track, the intimate Right In Time, the grieving Drunken Angel and 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten, a portrait in words of a Mississippi juke joint that's worth a thousand pictures.

 Waterloo Records - Lucinda Williams : Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
CAR WHEELS is full of songs about loss and longing, like "Metal Firecracker," "Drunken Angel" and "I Lost It," but even when she's bemoaning her own lack of happiness on the bluesy "Joy," she lets loose with so much passion that it seems inevitable she'll find her emotional center again.
Produced largely by Steve Earle, CAR WHEELS is immersed in that late-'90s alt-country sound, full of slide guitar, accordion, dobro and other Americana touches.
Full of lust, sadness and the occasional glimmer of hope, CAR WHEELS is one small step for Lucinda Williams and one giant leap for those tuned into her wavelength.

"Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" is a testament to William’s masterful artistry.
Williams brings together the heartache and twang of country, the drive of rock-n-roll, the lament of the blues, the storytelling of folk and the danceable beat of her Louisiana home to tell it from the heart.
In "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" America’s backroads poet sings about the things real country music is made of, except that commercial mainstream country music wants no part of her.

 CSIndy: 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten (October 7 - October 13, 1999)
The often languorous quality in her performances reflects the hazy regions she sometimes inhabits as a singer-songwriter, the cumulative exhaustion of the road and a sultry playfulness that is evident whenever she steps on a stage and intensifies as she feeds off the audience.
The rollicking title track on Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, for example, captures the Southern memories of her youth, with images flying on by on route from Macon to Jackson while a child of 4 or 5 looks out the window, "little bit of dirt mixed with tears," encapsulating a rambling life of motion.
While Car Wheels was lingering in limbo, hardcore fans circulated a bootleg CD, splicing together her new songs from various concerts and radio appearances and making her stalemating label cringe.

The entire blueprint for Car Wheels is evident on this album.
The rock abandon of Car Wheels' "Joy" is clearly evident in the bitter "Changed the Locks." There's also a cover of Chester Burnett's "I Asked For Water (He Gave Me Gasoline)" which harkens back to her rootsy origins.

Immersed in time-weathered musical materials, demonstrating near absolute mastery of the pop songcraft that has been crystallizing at the conjunction of blues and country for half a century, Williams's writing is excellent only when it isn't superlative.
Williams is such a perfectionist that she recorded it from scratch twice, and then folded in more guest solos and recut vocals than even long-suffering coproducer Roy Bittan could fully digest--always with the perverse goal of making it sound less produced.

 Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels On A Gravel Road: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The title track is a bittersweet piece of her childhood, "Metal Firecracker" is for an old boyfriend (to whom, ironically, she utters the line "All I ask/ Don't tell anybody the secrets/ I told you"), and "Drunken Angel" is a painful ode to a musician/ lover (possibly herself) lost in a bottle.
But when she wants to hit the high notes, like on the instant road- house anthem "I Can't Let Go" and the Deep South crooner "I Lost It" (an old Williams standard charmingly recast), she does so with perfection.
Time will tell if Car Wheels On A Gravel Road will truly be considered a classic, but I can tell you now that it's one of the year's best.

 AMZ - December, 1998 -- Lucinda Williams
Lucinda has been a nomad for most of her life, both physically and musically, so it is perhaps apropos that her latest album is called "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" because she has certainly been down a lot of them.
Thank goodness at least one label had the sense to give her a home where she could be herself and give us her first studio album in six years, "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road." Her concert tonight proved how wise (and lucky) Mercury was to sign her.
From what I understand, this isn't something that occurs at every show, but given the beautiful weather, the warm crowd and a hot band, we were rewarded with three more songs as Lucinda passed on a word from her guitarist that they had to play the blues.

While the critics were going goo-goo ga-ga over "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road," and desevedly so, it was hard not to notice that this overlooked album is a much better listen in the long run.
This CD sometimes gets lost in considerations of Williams's work, sandwiched as it is between the auspicious "Lucinda Williams" and the amazing "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road." It is true that the songs do not have the consistency that you get on either of those other CDs.

The fact that Williams has also begun to enjoy considerable commercial success -- the Grammy-winning Car Wheels On A Gravel Road went gold and brought her to the cusp of mainstream stardom -- has only raised the stakes for each new album.
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road also went through a protracted birth, with Williams doing three recording sessions with three different producers before completing it.
Williams doesn't deny the creative struggles of the two albums, but says disagreements with her record labels were bigger factors in the long waits for those two CDs.

* Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (Mercury) by Lucinda Williams.
Although she wrote the 1992 Grammy-winning song "Passionate Kisses" (sung by Mary Chapin Carpenter), Williams is still one of country's best-kept secrets.
Already hailed as a masterpiece, Car Wheels is a near-perfect song cycle in which the whiskey-voiced Williams reflects on her life--romantic and otherwise.

 BARRY'S NOTES - May 2002
Her breakout album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, went gold and won her a Grammy, and mainstream periodicals like People, Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal and even The New Yorker heralded her as the anti-Shania -- as a female country artist who actually was an artist.
We the people of the music-lovers' union especially love Lucinda's recent recordings, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road in 1998 and last year's Essence, both eloquent statements by a seasoned artist capable of evoking sadness, joy, fervor, desire, angst and faith--sometimes in the same song.
Known as a perfectionist with artistic integrity, sometimes to a fault, Williams is reported to have trashed a perfectly good version of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road and re-recorded the whole darn thing when it didn't meet her standards.

 George Graham Reviews Lucinda Williams' "Essence"
Williams released her Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, which unexpectedly won a Grammy award and sold a half-million copies.
But her distinctive style, with her somewhat world-weary vocals, and her penchant for writing fine songs that would be recorded by other artists, attracted fans of the contemporary singer-songwriter, roots rock and even of the alternative rock scene.
While songs on 1998's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road tended toward the narrative with some songs written about specific people in her life, some of the compositions on Essence almost have a Zen-like quality from their poetic compactness.

Obviously, this is not the Lucinda Williams of the Car Wheels on a Gravel Road tour (chronicled on a New West Records DVD, released concurrently).
The 22 songs on these two disks are culled mainly from Essence and World Without Tears, with only a few from Car Wheels, Sweet Old World, and Lucinda Williams (and none from her first two albums).
The old Lucinda of Car Wheels reappears briefly on the final two tracks (both of which, ironically, postdate that album).

 Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On  A Gravel Road
Lucinda Williams' music has always made me think of a woman's leather jacket on the bedpost in the morning, the fading scent of her perfume mingled with the cigarette smoke left over from the bar the night before.
The long-awaited Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, an album three production crews and almost five years in the making, perpetuates this aura of long night and morning after, of sexiness with a hint of danger, of leather and longing.
Yes, the longing is there right from the start, embodied by the album's first single, "Right in Time." Williams forces you to feel how much the narrator misses her lover, makes you feel it in your heart as well as some other organs.

Probably "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" is only a great record.
But the sound on "Car Wheels" is neither Billy Joe jumping off a bridge nor "All Tomorrow's Parties." It has an openhearted, rootsy sound -- guitarists like Earle, Buddy Miller and Charlie Sexton playing resonator and mando guitars (whatever those are) as well as Dobro and slide.
Six years later, we have "Car Wheels." Hopefully we won't have to wait so long for the next release.
