That is why rock will never die, Lucinda's a true rock poetess.

Doug Pettitbone is a monster, they were both lucky to have each other -- Lucinda is an blazing star art hero.

The lyrics - if you have ever felt overcome by your feelings for someone, maybe someone who is not good for you, who makes you do things you never thought you would do, then these lyrics say it all for you.

My god, those sounds that guy strangles outta that guitar - magnificent!

Doug Pettibone gets amazing sounds out of the guitar! First time I heard a solo of his was on Lucinda Williams' song "Righteously". His slow bends makes the guitar sound like a wounded animal, & the guitar is just on the edge of feedback distortion, but he manages to control it. Gives me chills.

I keep trying to leave Lucinda but she keeps drawing me back. Just love her.

I get goose bumps every time I hear this song. Lucinda is an American treasure.

Man Doug Pettibone is pulling the tone from somewhere down deep. Haunting harmony vocal the blend is perfect on Lucinda' slow southern drag. Always love her phrasing great songwriter!

Don't know what planet I've been on, but have only RECENTLY been introduced to this amazing lady......WOW!!! CAN'T WAIT to see her in concert!!

Lucinda still has it now in 2017. One of the most engaged, alive performers I have seen. She is real, no pretense.

Great song. Dude nailed those back vocals too.

my favorite lucinda williams song. whenever i listen to the album "essence", i always hit the "repeat track", then let this play 5 or 6 times. best half hour of my life every time!

One of the most sensual songs I have ever heard .

Probably the most inspired I've ever seen her perform... great singer/songwriter!

Without a doubt one of the greatest singer/song writers of our time.

Lucinda is the REAL DEAL and her band live kicks some serious ass! They are amazing and being there LIVE is one night you will always remember. Lucinda ...stay well and honor us back in Pgh. terrie

baby sweet baby whisper my name shoot your love into my vein baby sweet baby kiss me hard make me wonder who's in charge.... Lucinda always gets right to it, whatever "it" is, in every song she tells the truth. That's what I love the most about her. Today I needed some real hard truth=telling music and youtube has so many of these amazing Lucinda videos. I saw her live at First Ave. in Mpls. years ago when she had the one and only Mr. Kenny Vaughan with her on guitar.

Great live at the Tarrytown Music Hall in March 2017. Perfect venue for Ms. Williams and her band. The above guitarist playing on Essence is a remarkably awesome harmonizer. Top shelf, really knows how to blend his tone with hers. A true talent. Plus he's an amazing guitarist! Psychedelia. xox I'm in love Oh, and the drummer keeps better that perfect time, another treat. Bass rocks! Man, such a great band.

One of the artists for which I own every recording. Love her stuff. She crosses so many musical genres, and does it so well . . .

Lucinda is the Queen of Outlaw Country music. Bad-Ass!

kudos to doug pettibone for hittin those harmonies.... perfect and amazing

What can I say? One of the best all-time female rock tracks and the lyrics are simply the best! Great voice, she's got it all!!

I've been saying since the first time I heard it. This is the sexiest song I've ever heard.

Good recording of a great performance. I have seen her in concert several times and she is always great. One of my favorites of her songs too!

The tonez coming from that Fuzz Factory are unbelievable.

Just fantastic-- Lucinda and the whole band. The short bass, drum and guitar fills in the first half of the song are so well done.

The entire band rocks. They are all so in the pocket. Solid. Who's that wonderful drummer?

I just read her book (Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You) and then listened to her whole catalog again and appreciated it on another level. I've probably listened to this song 20 times this week.

Extraordinary song, and a off-the-charts hot performance.

I get chills every time with the chorus!!

Damn that was hot. Great version of this song. Lucinda is amazing writing, performing.

Her voice is so powerful!The band build a powerful wall of sound that drives along so well!Great live version!

Love this song -love her music in general -she powerful and has an amazing sound

This is excellent, authentic, the real deal.

beautiful love song! you’re lyrics are so real!!❤

Saw Lucinda at Shepherds Bush on this tour, love the guitarist. This is my fave number of hers.

God, I love her...what a viseral song.

Gary Louris of the jayhawks did the original backing vocals,on the album, which Lucinda then recorded two octaves higher in the final mix. It's pretty amazing the guy singing backup here can pretty much match that incredible performance from Louris.

Saw Her Livex3 Never Disappoints -She Rocks!

Brilliant Neil Young-y backing guitar. Such a classic tune. Underappreciated.

Willie Nelson introduced her once as one of the best American songwriters !

fantastic song...FANTASTIC...and great eyes, too! i've loved her for many many years and she just gets better each time. west" is just the greatest album too...although essence is great too.

I use to love meeting her when she came to town, always real nice and signed my cd's . Then she met her husband and all that changed. . Not blaming her.

WOW!!!! Love ya Lucinda!!!

Is this the best version? I think so.

pettibone is just all around great

It was her uptight boyfriend manager for me the last few times. Will still see her every time i can. What a great artist.

love this song!!!!

Plenty of Lucinda songs that get under your skin. This is one of the essential ones. What a hot little combo; and the band is pretty good too. That guitar player slays me.

my favorite backing band of hers, (close second is breen, vaughan, hombre and jackson)... but Taras, Pettibone and the fab Jim E Christie on drums. Awesome!!

IN-FRIGGIN-CREDIBLE!!!! Nobody can add to a Lu song like Pettibone! I was a little bummed that he was not with Buick 6 when I saw them last weekend. But Lu quickly soothed me of my disappointment.

I love you Lucinda. Your voice enthralls me. I am at your mercy.

Fallen brought me here!!! Amazing voice, amazing song!!!

This live performance just killed...a great room that the band just owned that night...

WE LOVE YOU LUCINDA!

I saw her in concert in Tulsa at the Cain's. She and her band rocked! Absolutely an awesome show. She translates better live than on cd.

brilliant

Essence of a mans soul , Lucinda knows what a woman wants...

One my favourite Lucinda songs.....for you know who

The best visceral, intimate song. Breathtaking. Something for sharing.

a great, great song. phenomenal lyrics!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

And Doug - Doug Pettibone - YOU ROCK!!!!!!

I love Lu!!!

Freakin' Awesome!!!! ❤

It's her voice man! Doesn't hurt that she is a songwriter! Love getting drunk and letting her take me away!

Give props to Bo Ramsey...slide guitarist and producer extrodianaire for his work on this and Car Wheels...

Thanks for posting up this video - great stuff.

Brilliant lyrics.... I think this might be my fav: kiss me hard make me wonder who's in charge.... been there....felt that

The 1st time I heard this was from the HBO Doc Ganga Queen......read the credits, went to Amazon and ordered Essence....the CD is amazing.

Wow!! Love it

Lucinda...so raw, so real, so beautiful

Everything you sing turns to gold and melts my heart

so powerful voice so true to her words that she sings with heart and soul

absolutely brilliant song!!

great song - great drummer

masterful beautiful transparent song with incredible sounding guitar work!!!

She Never Disappoints-The Soul Is There-You just Can't Buy That!!

Having never seen her before hearing her. Righteously.

oh baby

You damn right. Chills me to the core~

@follepourchevaux exactly my feelings when i first heard this late at night on Q107, toronto. mesmerizing, can't tell anyone about this, too dangerous!

My first time to hear her music. Nice song. My wife loves Carrie Underwood and I can't stand to hear her. This guitar sounds like Neal Young's Into The Blue stuff, which I love that sound. I]m 56 and I'm just getting around to this band. Go figure.

powerful art, pure genius

oh man i saw her play last night at the WaMu at MSG in NYC.. she played this one boy was she on!!!! what a great show. i met the whole band except the drummer after the show on the street at 1 A.M. Before that I asked Lucinda to give me a hug and she started to come over but then her up tight security guards directed her towards the limo so she apologized and blew me a kiss

I love this.... so much.

Fantastic singer, fantastic song, fantastic everything

Incredible!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCINDA WILLIAMS!

Amazing

Goes without saying I love Lu and love Doug's guitar, but I can't help but focus on the bass, too. Love the bass lines being put down.

Goosebumps.

Perfection.

Pettibone is absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic.

Yeah. I noticed that. It was a bit strange but the harmony is great and he nails the notes in his head voice. That's cool by me.

love love love

Hvis ikke jeg tidligere var fan (og det var jeg), så er jeg efter at ha’ hørt dette skønne nummer og hvilken guitarist i bandet perfekt.

Sing it Doug! Great guitar work

woooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuu...without words...

I love the harmony
