Little Honey

by: Lucinda Williams

October 14, 2008
After three great recordings in a row, something less than wicked this way comes, cliched and dreary . The presence of the 'guest artists' is a sure sign that the well's run dry. If this is what domestic bliss leads to, one can only - ungenerously - hope Lucinda's newfound serenity is short lived.

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

by: Lucinda Williams

June 30, 1998
I'm really baffled by the great reviews of this record. Williams' voice is horrible. It's not that her voice is unpolished; Dylan, Steve Earle, and many others pull off less than perfect voices by the strength of their delivery. Williams tries too hard to sound soulful, ending up sounding desperate, grating. The melodies are flat and uninteresting, and the lyrics are uninspired. Skip this and pick up a Steve Earle, or Blue Rodeo CD for some great "American" music.

World Without Tears

by: Lucinda Williams

April 08, 2003
I love, love, love the song "Righteously," but cannot listen to it because of that horrible, harsh guitar. It is at odds with the sweet, sexy feel of the song, Lucinda's vocals and the engaging lyrics. Sounds like a musician who is in a musical mid life crisis, selfishly playing heavy guitar licks because he misses his youth, not because it supports the song. Pettibone is a master guitar player, someone should reign him in so he adds to Lucinda's great work, rather than makes it unlistenable.

Sweet Old World

by: Lucinda Williams

August 25, 1992
After listening Lucinda Williams' album West I became an instant fan and bought a couple of more CDs right away.
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road was nearly as good as West but somehow Sweet Old World appeared to be a bit too easy peace from an artist with this kind of talent. Lucinda Williams can do better.
Don't get me wrong. Sweet Old World is not a poor album. On the contrary. But many of the songs are just beautiful "traditional" tracks without the soul tearing spices of songs on album West.

This was good but West is still the best.

Essence

by: Lucinda Williams

June 05, 2001
I saw Lucinda at Bumerbershoot in Seattle this summer. It was at Memorial Stadium, which is a bad place for live music (accoustically), but the song Essence just blew me away. Quickly it has become my summer of '08 theme song. I'm an old fart, and I like every kind of music, but she seems to have the ability to hit that bluesy nerve right smack dang hard and sexy too. Makes me want to do a little dance with a shady woman in a smoky honky tonk. Gonna have to review her entire song book on Itunes and make my own LW's greatest hits CD ... definitely going to include that Drunken Angel song too.

Great CD. I bought it for my husband, he's always been a Fats fan and he loves it. All the artists did a wonderful job. Worth every penney.

Live @ The Fillmore

by: Lucinda Williams

May 10, 2005
I have been trying to listen this album for some time but it's intolerable.

I listen to Lucinda constantly, have for years, she is a wonderful and soulful artist, I certainly dig her whole style and groove but this performance is just depressing so out of my life it goes. It really upsets me to hear her sounding so bad, it is puzzling how this performance was so bad and why it was released! We should have been spared this.

Lucinda Williams

by: Lucinda Williams

I saw her recently on the David Letterman Show perform a song from her new disc and I can't say I wanted to run out and buy it. But this CD has something for everyone; rock, blues, great lyrics... There are two versions of "Side of the Road" on it. One is a studio recording and another is live. I go back and forth between which one I like better. She is a very good song writer who speaks from the heart. Her voice can be a little edgy at times but she is original. I also like "Something about what happens" as a ballad with great lyrics and acoustic guitar playing. My friend Jim and I did a backpacking trip and drove 10 hours to get to the trailhead. He had this tape in his car and I was hooked after the first time he popped it in. A great album and association with ... Read More:
