......Ok. No one is gonna match the pure corrosive bile of Dylan's original, & no one should try. Positively 4th Street still stands as a magnificently malignant kiss off, no matter how its performed. Lucinda Williams here with a nice accoustic rendition that is not without merit

Little Honey , the fourth in a series of Lost Highway-issued Williams studio albums released this decade, is yet another steady piece of competent Americana from one of this era's most celebrated songwriters. Each album in the series is nearly as noteworthy as her 1998 classic Car Wheel On a Gravel Road , though none hit the long-labored perfection for which that album is celebrated. Little mor...

raw and exposed, beautiful and honesthumanity goes beyond genres and sexMost artists who appeal to adult listeners tend to settle into a comfortable niche, but Lucinda Williams refuses to play it safe. Instead, her music stings like an open wound, as she continues to strip away the protective layers from her art's emotional core. Though Williams has long been prized for the naked honesty of her...

LUCINDA WILLIAMS – WEST (2007)Lucinda Williams was born confronting demons, and her emotionally charged prose has been haunting listeners for 28 years with the type of gritty honesty few in her field could possibly replicate. Her ravaged, heartfelt musings are often far from comforting, and one could argue that the biting lyrics draw more similarities to the Blues than her gentle Alt. Country s.

The Soul of a Man, directed by Wim Wenders, is the second film (and thus far my landslide favorite) in the Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues series. Wenders's feature-length film takes as its focus three blues masters: Blind Willie Johnson, who only sang spirituals but with unmistakably blues stylings, Skip James, and my fave of the three, J. B. Lenoir. Blind Willie Johnson narrates much of th...
