Lucinda Williams
Blessed
The acclaimed, multi-Grammy’d singer/songwriter serves up 12 new tunes in her signature, twanging, truth-to-the-marrow style. It’s stellar, front to back, but the angry, pounding “Seeing Black,” an indictment of a friend’s suicide, brings it all home. An additional treat: Elvis Costello sits in on guitar.
