Lucinda Williams takes "Wheels" for a new spin by Jonathan Cohen (Billboard)While Lucinda Williams puts the finishing touches on her next studio album, her Lost Highway label will on October 24 release a "deluxe edition" of her acclaimed 1998 disc Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. The set includes the previously unreleased studio tracks "Out of Touch" (later re-recorded for the 2001 album Essence) and the 1920s blues tune "Down the Big Road Blues" plus an alternate version of "Still I Long for Your Kiss."
A July 11, 1998, show in Philadelphia comprises the second disc of the set and includes nine tracks from "Car Wheels," as well as earlier selections such as "Something About What Happens When We Talk" and "Hot Blood." "Car Wheels" is the best-selling album of Williams' career, having sold 764,000 units in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It won the Grammy for contemporary folk album in 1999. Williams' next album, due before the end of the year, features contributions from guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Jim Keltner.
She will head to Europe for a handful of fall shows, beginning October 31 in the northern Dutch city of Groningen.
