Lucinda Williams (born January 26, 1953) is an American rock, folk, and country music singer and songwriter.
Williams was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the daughter of poet and literature professor Miller Williams.
Williams also gained a reputation as a perfectionist and slow worker when it came to recording; six years would pass before her next album release, though she appeared as a guest on other artists' albums and contributed to several tribute compilations during this period.

 TrouserPress.com :: Lucinda Williams
On her first two albums, which went largely unnoticed at the time but were reissued in light of her first leap in notoriety, Louisiana-born Lucinda Williams sings poignant songs in a rich, world-weary voice, drawing on blues, folk, country and rock, but resisting all pigeonholes.
Williams left complications and unsteadiness behind for the helpfully less ambitious Essence, which relocates the strength of her sincerity in artistry rather than effort.
Beyond the musical unevenness of an album whose finer qualities interleave those mounting miscalculations, a rising suspicion that misery is of more comfort to her than happiness makes the tenor of Williams' songs increasingly hard to bear.

 Waterloo Records - Lucinda Williams : Ramblin'
Originally released on Folkways Records in 1978, Lucinda Williams' debut album consists of nothing but acoustic country blues in the tradition of the Louisiana Delta where the singer/songwriter was raised.
Not that Williams had the blues' traditional impoverished upbringing-her father is an academic and a well-regarded poet.
Williams' voice and 12-string guitar are almost the album's only features, with second guitarist John Grimaudo adding unobtrusive accompaniment to a handful of tracks.

 BARRY'S NOTES - July 2003
Williams' affecting blend of country, blues and rock, coupled with lyrics that are earthy, honest and often jarringly emotional make her albums a deep and powerful listening experience.
Williams doesn't deny the creative struggles of those two albums, but said disagreements with her record labels were bigger factors in the long waits for those two CDs.
In fact, for all the praise Williams' earlier lyrics have drawn, she is most proud of her efforts on "World Without Tears." A main source of this feeling is Williams' father, the noted poet Miller Williams, who has served as a sounding board on all of her records.

 Lucinda Williams: World Without Tears - PopMatters Music Review
The daughter of poet Miller Williams, she's recorded six albums, generally to critical praise, won three Grammies, and her material has been widely covered, with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Loveless, and Tom Petty scoring hits with her songs.
Williams is known for being a perfectionist, which had led to difficult relationships with some producers and players over the years -- an often-cited case in point would be the six years it took her to release 1998's masterful Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.
The end result is a visceral album, not only because of Williams's voice and the live sound but also because of the album's subject matter, which considers subjects such as isolation, failed relationships, depression, drug abuse, suicide, and child abuse as well as William's frank articulation of her own sexuality.

 Americana - Lucinda Williams   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Unusually fast by Lucinda Williams standards, who has been known to work an album over and over with different producers, studios and musicians, "Essence" follows on the heels of her 1998 Grammy winning "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" (Best of Frank's Picks 1998- Americana), which was her career making break-through.
While Lucinda Williams definitely pushes the envelope of sadness and the arch-typical country-music themes of the femme-fatale, there is another group, her die-heart fans, who are drawn to her expressive nature.
I am not a psychologist and cannot say where Lucinda would be were she not able to channel the essence of her inner being, with all its vulnerability and sensitivity, into creative art and expressive song, in album after album of pain.

 Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (Album Review)
Lucinda Williams certainly takes her time between albums.
Throughout the endeavor, Williams conjures the essence of Bonnie Raitt's music, though she blends it with a Byrds-ian jangle and the punch of alt-country.
That is the album's charm as well as its beauty, and it helps Williams to strike a chord with her listeners.

 Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears CD review
From the dreamy, laid-back opening strains of Lucinda Williams' latest album, World Without Tears, it seems as though the ghosts that haunted the alt-country queen throughout her last beautifully tragic effort, Essence, might just be sticking around for a spell.
You certainly can't blame her voice, as Williams is as passionate and soulful as ever.
Williams readily admits that this album shows all the different musical influences that have, unconsciously, entered into her life.

 A heroine of country at her peak
For a long time better known by other musicians than the public, Williams on her past couple of releases has been moving toward this sort of -- for lack of a better word -- torchabilly, a near seamless blend of country, blues and roots rock with its heart painfully on its sleeve.
But the essence of what makes Williams unique is her pungent, literate songwriting and the hopeful heart beating at the core of all her songs.

 Monkeyfist.com: The Essence of Lucinda
I find this resonance in the work of Lucinda Williams, and with her latest album, "Essence," she continues to deliver songs that are simply, well, beautiful.
While much of the anger of earlier Williams songs such as 'Joy' or 'I asked for Water and You Gave Me Gasoline' is missing, Williams' earnest sincerity is still very much in evidence throughout the album, especially on 'I Envy the Wind' and 'Bus to Baton Rouge'.
Maybe it's because I am from Texas, and we were raised on the same soil and breathed the same air (Lucinda cut her musical teeth in Austin), but I frequently find within her lyrics moments that I truly feel are mine.
