I'll Be Your Lover - Paul Kelly (1998)

Kelly admitted of being a great Dylan fan but I'm sure Dylan would be envious of this effort. I love the line 'You crossed your mouth to keep mine shut my timing was never that good'. The video here is fun too though they should have included a card playing scene in some smoky dungeon bar, with an archetypal 'broad' leaning on some big-shot's shoulder. Kelly paints a wonderful scene and that wailing guitar gets right under my skin.

Right In Time - Lucinda Williams (1998)

So this is not the greatest song of all time but, I challenge you to listen to it only one time. You'll be returning to listen to the words at least once more...and then you'll wonder at Lucinda's laid back (no pun intended) singing and think 'Yes! She is so confident to be able to sing like that. Surely she describes personal experiences, and I mean personal. You'll be sold too.
