Lucinda Williams- Happy Woman Blues
Lucinda Williams, whose musical style defies easy categorization, recorded her first album of original songs in 1980, supported by a six-member band. Her songs are a mix of traditional and alternative country, folk, and blues that reflect her Louisiana roots. The Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau gave Happy Woman Blues an "A-" and described Williams as a "guileless throwback to the days of the acoustic blues mamas" who "means what she says and says what she means."
Tracklist:
- LaFayette
- I Lost It
- Maria
- Happy Woman Blues
- Kings of Hearts
- Rolling Along
- One Night Stand
- Howlin' at Midnight
- Hard Road
- Louisiana Man
- Sharp Cutting Wings (Song to a Poet)
