Description
Lucinda Williams is a bonafide rock star who has been playing packed houses and recording hit albums for decades. Her commercial claim to fame is the Grammy-winning album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, but the Williams catalog, which runs 11 albums deep, is packed with musical gems whose lustre grows with every listen. Putting a unique stamp on country-blues, folk and Americana, Williams consistently stretches into unexpected musical directions, taking on tunes by Howlin' Wolf, AC/DC and more with a fiery style; reminding us that it really is a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. - Cat Johnson sanjose.com
