Lucinda Williams
Louisiana made audible.
Lucinda took fourteen years between records when she had to. She sang Louisiana into something the whole country could understand. 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road' is one of the great American albums of the last fifty years and she made it on her own clock. You don't imitate Lucinda — you just hope you're listening hard enough when she sings.
