Title: Music that cuts to the bone!
Review: Lucinda Williams never ceases to amaze me! 'Essence' goes in a totally new direction than her breakthrough 'Car Wheels On A Gravel Road', but is still an amazing CD. Instead of the picturesque Southern travelouge that wound through 'Car Wheels', on 'Essence', you get raw, stripped bare emotion.... from the sadness of 'Lonely Girls' to the longing of 'I Envy The Wind' to the overwhelming sexuality of 'Essence' (Real, human sexuality that Madonna only wishes she had), even to the medicine-show spirituality of 'Get Right With God', Lucinda's words and voice paint an unmatched emotional picture. I gave it four stars only to show my personal preference for 'Car Wheels'. It should be more like 4.98 stars. Anyone who likes personal songwriting and real emotions with their music needs this CD!
