Released on Rough Trade Records in 1988, Lucinda Williams’ self-titled third album is considered by some to be the birth of alt-country. Ignored by the world at large but critically adored, the album was out of print for many years until it was re-released twenty-five years later. Although somewhat overshadowed in Lucinda’s discography by her magnum opus Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, every single song on this album has been covered by her peers, including Tom Petty, Patty Loveless, Katey Chambers, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Slimcock Bumblebee Balls.
