I am a great fan of Lucinda, she is incredibly talented. Can't wait for the new cd

Nice to see she is doing a JJ Cale cover. Looking forward to hearing it.

I'm a huge Lucinda fan myself. Can't wait for this album MEZ

I am a big fan of Lucinda, but it seems like she has really perfected that Southern drawl-y way of singing to a point where it seems like artifice. I know she's from the South, but she sings now like she has a mouthful of fried chicken and Jack Daniel's. I say this with love, and will buy the new record.

LOL! That's spot on! But I love her anyway. Looking forward to this album

Me too, DP...

Lucinda and Elvis Costello did a very nice version of Wild Horses several years back on a short-lived TV show about songwriters. I haven't been able to find the clip. Anyone?

great track...I wish....whatever....

I think it's Ian McLagan

or is it an other person ?

Funny...there seems to be a big difference there between Sweet Old World and Car Wheels, I noticed that too.

I did meet her once on the Sweet Old World tour, very nice...and she spoke more like her latter albums, so maybe she's just embraced it since.

It's Mac.

I have heard live versions of several songs from the upcoming "Where The Spirit Meets The Bone" album from torrents that are out there. If these are any indication of the quality of the whole double album (20 songs), this could be her Exile! very nice guitar leads, smooth country rock & bluesy stuff, kinda Stonesy but pure Lucinda!

These tracks are out there:
Compassion
Burning Bridges
East Side Of Town
Something Wicked This Way Comes
When I Look At The World
Everything But The Truth
Magnolia (JJ Cale)

Anybody seen any others? Looking forward to this one!

Ross

Elvis Costello sidemen Pete Thomas (drums) and Davey Faragher (bass) are also on the record.

A ten minute version of Magnolia! Looking forward to hearing that one.

Other songs played recently :

Protection or I need protection
Clear blue eyes

Some more :
When i look at the world
Stand right
River man
West Memphis

Marclaff, it looks like some of the new songs she is playing aren't on the new album. It Tears Me up, Clear Blue Eyes, Stand Right, and River Man aren't listed on "Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone". I did read an interview where she said she had another album ready to go that will be released quickly after this one, these tracks are probably slated for that.

Man, for someone who was once notorious for taking a LONG time between albums, she has certainly become quite prolific of late!

River Man is a Nick Drake cover. She did a great version of that one in Oslo last year

Thanks!!

Yeah - listening to the new Lucinda on npr.org - VERY tasty!

Lucinda is awesome! I saw her in concert a couple of months ago, she was great. Got the new album pre-ordered, can't wait to listen to it. She mentioned at her concert that she has been working on it for several years

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...

isnt the new one suposed to be a double?

It is a double, clocking in on 1:43 or so...

This is the best new music I have heard this year! It's the album I have wanted her to make since "Car Wheels". Yeah, those albums since have been excellent, some even classic ("World Without Tears" IMO), and all had some great songs, but this hits that same nerve as her previous masterpiece. 1:43 of pure, soulful, impeccably produced, country/blues/ rock (like the best music that another band I know used to make!). Gonna wear this one out!
