I tried putting a pair of landing legs on it, thinking I could lower this thing on those, and THEN lower my wheels, but they still kerplode.

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is the fifth studio album by Lucinda Williams.
There are very few albums that I can say that every song is one of my favorite songs on the album. This is one of them. A masterpiece from start to finish, it was Williams’ first album to be certified gold and is still her best-selling album with 872,000 copies sold as of 2014.
Car Wheels is perfect from “Right on Time

Here we are, at the very end of the Fiona Apple album survivors! And how great it has been... but we are far from over yet. We still need to crown our winner, as well as two more exciting survivors that I shall explain in more detail later! But anyway, the votes are in and with 45.5% to eliminate our winner is... Every Single Night! And what a victory it is! Meaning that Valentine is a very deserving runner-up with 54.5% to eliminate. Valentine is a fantastic song, with a deceivingly chirpy sounding chorus, paired with actually quite heart-wrenching lyrics about not being able to move on and grow. And as for our champion, Every Single Night... where do I begin? This is possibly Fiona's best lyrical work to date. It is eerie and sinister, yet heart-breakingly raw and visceral. This song really lets us feel the pain of Fiona and the trials and tribulations she must face inside her own head. There is one lyric that sums up this song perfectly - "I just want to feel everything." A pure masterpiece, as it joins Sleep to Dream, Paper Bag and Waltz in the Survivor Hall of Fame.

Although the survivor has ended, we have more to come! Starting in the next few days is the 'Fiona Apple: Alternate Releases Survivor'. I have compiled a list of songs that could make the cut, however I need some thoughts and opinions. I would appreciate it if you guys suggested any potential songs I'm missing, or just let me know if any of the songs listed should not be included :))

The first elimination has loomed upon us, and we must sadly say goodbye to our first song. I can confirm that this survivor is going to be the most difficult yet; the favourites are so varied, and at this point it could go any way. With 25.7% to eliminate... it's time to say goodbye to Jonathan. This doesn't surprise me too much, as it was my least favourite on first listen. However it has grown on me vastly, and the almost industrial percussion and irregular chord progression make for an impactful listen. What do you think of this first elimination, and which song should leave next?

Tomorrow we will have our champion of 'The Idler Wheel' Survior - but before we can crown a winner, we must find out which song has missed out on Top Two. With 46.7% to eliminate... Daredevil has fallen at the final hurdle. This is the perfect placement for this song in my opinion. Despite somewhat flying under the radar this whole survivor, it cannot be denied that this is an amazing track. And with that being said, it gives us one of Fiona's best bridges to date; the 'Seek me out' part is so raw and filled with emotion, as she literally growls the lyrics. The song is absolutely amazing, but hands down this segment is one of my personal highlights of Fiona's whole discography. And then there were two! 'Every Single Night' and 'Valentine' will battle it out, with your votes determining which track comes out victorious tomorrow. Which song should be crowned the winner?

Sorry it's a little late today guys! But nevertheless, we have business to do. The song with the most votes and eliminated this round is... Left Alone with 32.5% to eliminate! There was a mere ONE vote between this track and 'Anything We Want'. ONE VOTE. This song is probably one of Fiona's most interesting and complex, with the structure constantly changing and every single verse being a new experience almost. And of course, that awesome percussion! This song is so distinctive sonically and such a standout on the album. It will be sorely missed :( What do you guys think of this elimination, I know it was a lot of your picks for the win. And which track should go next? OH, and we're halfway now!

Hello guys! Time to see which song has been eliminated in 5th Place. With 40% to eliminate... Anything We Want is eliminated. I know this one has been on some of your radars for a while, but that doesn't make it any less sad to see it depart. This song is adorable, and that is undeniable! I think the simplicity of the songs chorus is possibly its downfall, but the percussion and beautiful verses more than make up for it! RIP Anything We Want. What do you think of the elimination? Which song should leave in 4th Place, missing out on the Top 3?
