Lucinda Williams - Salt of the Earth - Non-Album Tracks (2011)

Here's the next in my series of stray tracks albums for Lucinda Williams. If you like the other ones, you'll be sure to like this one too, because it's a particularly strong one, in my opinion.

Unlike the last album in this series, there aren't many covers of famous songs. The exceptions are "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" by Bob Dylan,"Dedicated to the One I Love" by the Five Royales, the Mamas and the Papas and many others, "If We Make It through December" by Merle Haggard, and "Salt of the Earth" by the Rolling Stones. "When I Get like This" is another Five Royales cover, but much less well known. Frankly, I'm not sure how many of the others are covers or originals. If you know, please let me know.

Nearly all of the songs have been officially released, usually on various artists compilations or from Williams dueting on other people's albums. The only two unreleased songs are the last two. Both of them are taken from a soundcheck before a concert, so they sound very good and don't have any crowd noise.

This album is 46 minutes long.
