Lucinda Williams, a singer/song-writer from Nashville, is presently on tour for her new album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Williams, a self-proclaimed perfectionist, spent the last four years writing Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. In her 20-year musical career, Williams has only released five albums, all on different labels. Although her songwriting skills have garnered her a Grammy, Williams own music has eluded much of the mainstream music population. However, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road has been heralded as one of the year's best albums and inscribed as the Blonde on Blonde...
...Kids Are Right" will unfortunately be the group's first single. It is unfortunate because Lucas tries to put a little to much gravel in his sliding voice. The result is a sound like Billie Joe from Green Day trying to sing a Wallflowers' song in a scratchy voice. The track gets better as soon as the chorus takes effect, but ultimately, "All The Kids Are Right" doesn't stand out like the rest of the album does. The song has the potential to be three-day hit, but eventually it will fade into overplay-rock obscurity...
...approval at an all-time high, 70%. The markets were happy too: the Dow jumped 150 points. The weather in Washington was baffled, raining and shining and raining again through air that defied you to breath it. On "Monica beach," the 50-yd. stretch of White House gravel where the TV reporters do their stand-ups, 35 bright umbrellas sprouted like mushrooms, and the pressroom was packed despite a complete absence of news. Outside the White House, a man was arrested after he cut his throat with a screwdriver in front of the mansion, shouting, "Why do you care about...
...like most politicians--like most people--the President is much less proficient with the categorical lie. Surely his crook-fingered, squinty-eyed, gravel-voiced denial of sex with "that woman," repeated like a tape loop on TV, looks less persuasive in retrospect. And recall his answer, after the Troopergate story broke, to the straightforward question "So none of this is true?" He was quiet for a full 10 seconds. "I have nothing else to say," he said at last. "We, we did, if, the, the, I, I, the stories are just as they have been said. They're outrageous...
...nation's ailing roads and bridges aren't the only things likely to prosper from the $203 billion highway-spending act President Clinton signed last week. Analysts expect the government's pork-laden largesse to pave the way for solid growth at major cement and aggregate (sand and gravel) providers as public construction projects multiply in the next few years. Firms like Lafarge, Southdown, Martin Marietta Materials and Vulcan Materials will be busy laying down the concrete and asphalt, so look for their relatively affordable shares to keep rolling higher...
