Lucinda Williams is an American rock, folk, blues, and country music singer and songwriter. Born on January 26, 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, she began recording albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a traditional country and blues sound. Despite receiving little attention from radio or the media during this time, her self-titled album released in 1988 brought her into the spotlight. With a unique blend of genres and heartfelt lyrics, Lucinda Williams has become a respected figure in the music industry.

Throughout her career, Lucinda Williams has showcased her versatility as an artist by exploring various musical styles. Her powerful vocals combined with introspective songwriting have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Known for capturing raw emotions through her music, she continues to create soulful melodies that resonate with listeners.

As the daughter of a renowned poet Miller Williams, Lucinda's artistic talent runs deep within her family roots. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and societal observations, she crafts songs that touch upon universal themes of love, loss, and resilience.

As a rule, you can divide music into three categories - the kind that aims for the head, the kind that aims for the heart and the kind that aims for the hips. Forging two of those connections at once is pretty impressive, but connecting on all three? That's a rare accomplishment indeed, one that Lucinda Williams manages on her 11th studio album, 'Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone'. 'Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone', the first release on Lucinda Williams' own Highway 20 Records label, is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that's long on ambition. Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul. Williams wrings every drop of affirmation from uplifting tracks like the empowering 'Walk On' (a loping paean to life's most sustaining aspects, the fleeting and the permanent) and every whit of dark beauty from songs such as 'This Old Heartache' (a stark reminder that churning psychic waters can lurk beneath a placid surface).
