1989 UK ROUGH TRADE (ROUGH 130) FIRST PRESSING OF LUCINDA WILLIAMS' EPONYMOUS THIRD LP
SUPERB COPY OF THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM DELIVERING FLAWLESS SOUND THROUGHOUT
MATRIX: ROUGH 130 A1 / ROUGH 130 B1

After releasing two traditional country blues albums in 1978 and 1980, Louisiana-born singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams all but disappeared for the majority of the decade and took eight years to write and record her eponymous third LP.
She crafts each song meticulously and deftly blends country, blues, and folk to create a unique sound that cannot be pigeonholed into any particular genre.
Her gorgeously "flawed" voice contains a heartache comparable to Emmylou Harris, but she has a darker side and a toughness that allows her to live inside the blues or rock with abandon.
'Lucinda Williams' is an album that has been long been recognised as a classic and it's been mined for hit songs over the years by such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, who turned "Passionate Kisses" into a country hit, and Tom Petty, who included "Changed the Locks" on his soundtrack album She's the One.
In addition to writing strong melodies, Williams is an amazing songwriter with a knack for writing a lyric that acknowledges the complicated nature of relationships while cutting right to the heart of the matter.
Every song packs an emotional punch and rewards the listener each time with something new.
A must-own for country and blues fans who really appreciate great songwriting
