On this week’s episode, we dig into the eponymous third album by the “Queen of Americana” 1988’s Lucinda Williams.
After a move to California, Lucinda Williams found herself in the middle of a burgeoning roots rock scene, where traditional music was being performed with a punk-rock attitude. She formed a band of ace musicians and began making a name for herself as part of the scene. Eventually signed by Rough Trade after several labels passed, Williams recorded a self-titled LP that is the work of a pioneering artist who has finally found her voice. Its a transformative album that is genre-defining; deftly blending country, blues, and folk to create a sound that is accessible and compelling. Williams' voice and songwriting are on full display here, creating songs that are personal, heartbreaking, defiant and utterly unique.
