Lucinda Williams - sixth album, Essence - Brief Article

Interview, June, 2001 by Sarah Valdez

Essence (Lost Highway Records)

You could drown in Lucinda Williams' relentless rawness. Her sixth album offers lots of haggard, come-hithery vocals that dissolve into voracious groans. Self-abnegating, lovelorn lyrics reach for deep emotional lows, but Williams' subtle mix of bluegrass and country prevents her from sounding totally despondent. Perfect for a balmy night when the crickets are out.
