Title: As Southern as...well...something really Southern...
Review: Lucinda Wiliams is rapidly becoming one of my favorite artists. Ok, sure -- she can't sing as beautifully as, say, Annie Lennox or Renee Fleming, but who would want her to? Her songs and lyrics are sometimes barren and desolate in their simplicity which reflects, in some ways, the people and situations she knew growing up in the southern US. And adding someone with a gorgeous, full, overly pretty voice to these songs would ruin the effect they have they have on us: the feeling that Lucinda might as well be the girl down the steet who got a guitar second-hand and writes songs so people know how she feels. There's something beautiful in that...almost genius, of a sort. I highly reccomend this album.And, by the way, didn't some pop group recently cover Sundays? I swear I heard it on the radio once...
