Blessed with a commanding, blast-it-to-the-back-of-the room voice, Loveless was raised on a family farm in Coshocton, Ohio, US—a small weird town with nothing to do but make music. With a dad who owned a country music bar, Loveless often woke up with a house full of touring musicians scattered on couches and floors.
When she got older, in the time-honored traditions of teenage rebellion, she turned her back on these roots, moved to the city (Columbus, OH) and immersed herself in the punk scene, soaking up the musical and attitudinal influences of everyone from Charles Bukowski to Richard Hell to Hank III.
"An old soul in a 21 year-old’s body, Lydia Loveless sings about the kind of heartache usually reserved for someone working on her third marriage." - The Charleston Gazette
"Manages to conjure up both Exene and Neko Case." --Washington Post
"All of 21, she's got the songwriting soul of someone twice her age and a voice to die for. Her appearance at the recent SXSW made us full-on believers." --Boudin Barndance
"Heir apparent of Loretta Lynn" --Twangville
"Commands the stage from tune-up to the final bow, with a voice that carries to every ear, no matter how intoxicated the owner."-- The Noise
"Her name is Lydia Loveless and she is like nothing I've ever heard before. Looks a little like Pink, with just the right amount of fucked up like Shane MacGowen . . . It was one of those night where I looked around and couldn't believe there weren't more people there to witness such an amazing show." --Midwest Music
"The energy, for the listener, comes not just from what we hear now from Loveless, but also from the expectations and anticipation around what her future discontented experiences may bring to the next song we hear." --Columbus Indie
"I hope you’ll forgive the hyperbole when I tell you that she ought to be a big star"--Razing the Bar

@ChorusAndTheRing
I love this live performance. It's insanely good, what a voice!
@damianzaninovich4900
I’ve seen this countless times but it never gets old, love her music!
@timothyduncan945
This song broke a 2 year depression and took me from one coast to the next. Sure her lyrics may have come from a different mental place for her, but they resonated for me then and still do.
@immaundacova999
I played this a long, long time ago, and searched long and far and wide to find this video again. I hope Lydia is doing well. This is good, pure, gut music. Not many do this now.
@amosjaneway2943
It is only so often that a completely amazing band comes around and these people are on fire.
@charlenel.4096
I love everything about this song.
@iannestor5406
Oh man I love stayin in on a Sat. evening ~
can't say how many times I've spent it listening to Lydia Loveless!!;)
They sound amazing here...
I can't wait to check these guys out live again Ugh
@thomasmedeiros5722
Love this performance. This is first time I have seen her on YouTube. Think I have heard her on XM radio on Outlaw Country station. She sounds too real for typical Nashville pop crap radio that I do not listen to. She really tells a story.
@trailerparkmonk2965
She is one of kind. Raw rock n roll.
@allisonstettler3501
true talent.
