In the upcoming months, if someone approaches you at one of Lucinda Williams' five-night performances in Los Angeles and New York, trying to sell you a bootleg of that evening's show before it even starts, rest assured that he or she is not a delusional street person. Though non-existent at time of purchase, the wares being peddled are legit. During Williams' first of two sets each night (which -- as previously reported -- will consist of an album played chronologically), some A/V production dudes will record the show and spend set number two burning CDs backstage. Apparently, the live discs... read more
Found in: Music, NewsCarrie Rodriguez To Tour With Lucinda Williams
Texas-bred singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez received just about the greatest compliment a rootsy artist such as herself can get when Lucinda Williams wrote of her in the January 27 edition of the New York Times: "She's got something unique in her voice that's very subtle and a little smoky and sweet ...

Found in: Music, News20 Signs of Life From 2003
Sweet, sad harmonica and delicate tremelo guitar echoing from a rotating speaker, the soft sound of brushes against a snare and then… that voice. God, that beautiful aching drawl that lets you know—if you’re feeling bad, if you’re hurting, if you’ve got nowhere else to go—don’t worry, I’ve been there, too. Lucinda Williams' music—simple but profound. Painful but cathartic. Heartbreaking and full of life. It’s hard enough to imagine someone can feel this much, but its even harder to imagine someone can convey this intensity of feeling simply by stepping up to a microphone and letting go. “She’s somebody I... read more
