New album: Lucinda Williams sings the Beatles from Abbey Road (Highway 20 Records/Thirty Tigers)
In his own way and for his soul
Lucinda Williams is the greatest when, in the manner of a storyteller, she touches that America that we sense, a country where everything is far away, and even for the most ordinary human touch you have to cross the entire expanse, which can sometimes be the width of a kitchen table, and sometimes it is the size of a prairie. But Lucinda Williams is bigger than the biggest when even that doesn't matter anymore, it only matters who is within reach and what happens between the two, and her songs spin in that vortex that often throws out some unwanted things. The point of her expression - that one can inevitably live with unwanted things - gives an epic tone to all the stories about little people that she has told so far.
