Thank you..Lucinda! Sometimes the Ugly Truth can end up mighty Beautiful! Thank you as an Auntie letting my babies know that excessing through music, dance, and life experiences is the way to be Free thank You for thinking out the box and letting Go and Allowing God
My favorite female singer/songwriter of all times AND wearing a T-Shirt of my favorite band of all times, Lynyrd Skynyrd!! (i have that same shirt). I can only imagine what a lucinda williams and ronnie van zant duet would be like. Lu and Ronnie are the two absolute best songwriters who had/have the uncanny ability to write the truth about their lives, life and experiences. Working class people. Love, tragedy, the road. Loss, forgiveness, addiction, violence, sorrow, broken deams, broken friendships, good friends and family. Would a Lucinda Williams and Ronnie Van Zant album not be freekin' incredible?
Hide your background, hide your fame Hide your given middle name Swallow your pride, swallow your pills In your house up in the hills Leave your husband, leave your wife Keep on runnin' your whole life Sweep your dirt under the rug Fix your hurt with a little love From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories And that's the truth, my friend The ugly truth, my friend I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth Keep your secrets to yourself Keep your paperbacks up on the shelf Burn your bridges, burn your friends Blow 'em kisses and make amends Take the high road or take the low No one but you and God will ever know And you might play rough and win or lose Either way, love, you'll get the blues From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories And that's the truth, my friend The ugly truth, my friend I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LUCINDA one of my all time favorite songwriters and performers only a handful of the best of the best equal or in Ray Davies case top her since he tops everyobody!

i caught her eye once at a gig me she didnt know but her i did the strings her voice her words reached inside to the place where a woman can change a man
I like that thought. That is quite a lovely thought coming from the guy. I know that sounds dumb but I think you know what I mean. Peace and blessings to you.
They're very different, both phenomenal. Her songs touch me in a deeper place overall, but his do to. His songs have more levity and humor. As a singer she's better. But, who needs better than they both touch us deeply.
Sorry but no.She is great but bought GPs at the time and its still the best. Next is Scottish bloke Davie Craig who used to sing it at the Hare and Hounds in London with the late RobinMcKidd.
Hey Kids, don't make the same mistake that I did! Take those ghosts out of the closet, hang 'em up on a clothes line and disinfect them with sunlight. Sit back in a deck chair with a cool beverage and watch 'em blow in the breeze! You gotta look at this "truth stuff" or it'll haunt you forever . . .
Another under-appreciated mini masterpiece
...be well Lucinda. We need you..more than ever. And that's the truth...
There’s no genre to put Lucinda’s music It’s just the truth my friend
SHE SURE CAN MAKE A SONG WORTH LISTENING TO.
You ain't kiddin
Lucinda feels, writes, sings, and strums the best dang country blues songs hands down!
Just Lucinda and her acoustic guitar....so great...she is the best singer songwriter of all time!
Agreed, just wonderful

one of her very best songs - no superlative does it justice
I have listened to this song 50+ times in a row now. Powerful!
Also, her boots are super cool.
Why isn't she in The Country Music Hall of Fame?
me too...
Sweep your dirt,
under the rug
fix your heart,
with a little love,
take the high road,
or take the low,
nobody but you,
and God will ever know.
She is absolutely beautiful.
This woman gets more beautiful from the inside out. May God bless her and may He show us great things from all of us. And Lucinda.
Such poignant a song! lovely Lucia Williams interprets it with such genuine truth!
When it comes my time to check out I'll know the world was beautiful. Ugly truth and all, thank you Lucinda.
I adore this woman....One of the best songwriters ever!!!

Never heard this one before, as always she nails it again............Thank you Lucinda
Your songs are beautiful 😘
Lucinda please take care of your health, take it easy we don’t want to lose another loving artist, we just lost Nanci Griffith!
Pure great songwriter. American treasure!
You are amazing, wish you so much success. Tell the world your truth!!!!! The real truth, love you so much, you touched me
If you can’t relate to this song you must not be human
I have been listening to her since Car Wheels. I have em all.
God, she hits the nail on the head. Love her music so much.
love lucinda .Wish I was at that bar
Hide your background, hide your fame
Hide your given middle name
Swallow your pride, swallow your pills
In your house up in the hills
Leave your husband, leave your wife
Keep on runnin' your whole life
Sweep your dirt under the rug
Fix your hurt with a little love
From the cradle to the grave
You will always be a slave
To the quiet darkness of your memories
And that's the truth, my friend
The ugly truth, my friend
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
Keep your secrets to yourself
Keep your paperbacks up on the shelf
Burn your bridges, burn your friends
Blow 'em kisses and make amends
Take the high road or take the low
No one but you and God will ever know
And you might play rough and win or lose
Either way, love, you'll get the blues
From the cradle to the grave
You will always be a slave
To the quiet darkness of your memories
And that's the truth, my friend
The ugly truth, my friend
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
I've got proof, my friend
And that's the truth
damn right!! THATS THE POINT!!
This song is the ugly truth
I love you Lu
Yes THE BEST Lucinda as always!!!

I keep doing that with all her songs protection and am I too blue oh heck just everything cannot listen to too much Lucinda. And THAT'S the truth
i caught her eye once at a gig
me she didnt know but her i did
the strings her voice her words
reached inside to the place
where a woman can change a man
@Sharon Bell me too
I caught her eye once and she actually smiled at me and I've never forgotten that connection and everything it meant in that moment.
Awesome!
I like that thought. That is quite a lovely thought coming from the guy. I know that sounds dumb but I think you know what I mean. Peace and blessings to you.
Sort of a paradox, ugly truth being so beautiful and stuff.
Yes.
I love this freaking women!!!!!!
Am back listening to you Lucinda, love your writing and compositions, a great fan!
What a difference a year can make. In 2010, at George's Majestic, you could hardly hear her. The audience must have grown up.
love this
really great performance!
Yep. Truth.
Pure thing!
Nevr saw this one before. I so love Lucinda Williams
so true....
The female country outlaw! If Hank jr and Delta blues had a baby
Love you Lucinda

she did not even try to reach any notes, basically it reached. I can listen this song all weekend

The truth is she can hit any note she wants
WHAT A FIND ! Is there more of this show?
Ahh...that's the truth my friend... 😶
Thank you!!! Makes life way to F-Simple....lol.
Plenty of fucked up people out there and this nails it..
Who else is crying like a child

Bam Miller having just said goodbye to one legend, you are correct my friend.
Makes me happy I can’t remember anything 😂
Everyone needs to listen to her version of "A Song for You." I think it is better than Grahm's.
Sorry but no.She is great but bought GPs at the time and its still the best. Next is Scottish bloke Davie Craig who used to sing it at the Hare and Hounds in London with the late RobinMcKidd.
When i burn my bridges . I forgive you. Sorry im not looking to rebuild!
Can I have a drone?
Can I walk about?
She did not lie. Just saying.

No matter how far you run, there you are.
So very true.

She could be my next wife, if she plays her cards right.
You wish. Get in line, sucka
