Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Gayl Williams (born January 26, 1953) is an American singer-songwriter and a solo guitarist. She recorded her first two albums, Ramblin' on My Mind (1979) and Happy Woman Blues (1980), in a traditional country and blues style that received critical praise but little public or radio attention. In 1988, she released her third album, Lucinda Williams , to widespread critical acclaim. Regarded as "an Americana classic", the album also featured " Passionate Kisses ", a song later recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter for her 1992 album Come On Come On , which garnered Williams her first Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1994 . Williams released her fourth album, Sweet Old World , four years later in 1992. Sweet Old World was met with further critical acclaim and was voted the 11th best album of 1992 in The Village Voice ' s Pazz & Jop , an annual poll of prominent music critics. Robert Christgau , the poll's creator, ranked it 6th on his own year-end list, later writing that the album as well as Lucinda Williams were "gorgeous, flawless, brilliant".
