    Sometimes you come across an artist who ALWAYS seems to have an awesome collection of players in their band. Absolutely everyone here is at the top of their game. A joy to listen to, and affirmation that Lucinda Williams is very special.

      @@c.d.macaulay66 it’s not just pictures - Lucinda evokes sounds all the time in her lyrics... just the title of this song for example. “Screen door slamming’ shut” we all know that sound. Dogs barking, Loretta on the radio... it goes on. She also seems to be connected to locations very much. Her stories don’t happen in unnamed places - she usually if not always gives us the context of a specific location. Guess what I’m trying to say is that she “paints” a complete picture including vision, sound, location, etc. One of my favorite lyricists of all time.
      P.S. Did Lucinda get in touch with you or was that a troll? Apologies for my cynicism ...

      Actually, I just heard her sing the song for the documentary Ghosts of Highway 20 and I was like DAMN, who is singing that song!?! She sounds amazing 🤩 - which took me down the RUclips rabbit hole to learn more about her. I’m ashamed to say I had never heard of her before (and I love this type of music). It’s too bad that she doesn’t get more recognition because she really is amazing. I’m definitely a new fan :)
