''Car Wheels on a Gravel Road'' won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and was Willams' first album to go gold. According to ''Billboard'' in February 2008, the album has sold 811,000 copies in the U.S. It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll.
