2008

The Queen finds her joy.

Word is Lucinda Williams fell in love, and her new album, Little Honey reflects it. Critics are calling it her first HAPPY album, but Williams says it’s not so simple.

“There are a couple of songs that deal with sort of finding my joy,” Williams says. It’s a happiness that’s made some fans nervous about her ability to continue to write songs. For her part, she says that’s unlikely.

NPR talks to Lucinda about life, love and the new album earlier this month on All Things Considered: 11/1/08

Probably the greatest female songwriter of our generation (at least my opinion), Williams pleases with Little Honey. Real Love is a rocking treat, see a liver performance on David Letterman here.

Got an extra $15 bucks? ($10.99 on itunes) I HIGHLY recommend picking up this beautiful cd. Honey Bee will make you smile and want to dance, (it’s rocking and naughty) plus the cover of AC/DCs Long Way To The Top is a real treat.

Waking up from the Neo-Con Nightmare

Almost at the end of Election Night Partying

I guess I really haven’t talked much about my excitement over the newly elected Obama. Though I was a Hillary supporter, I did get behind Obama in the final weeks and voted for him instead Ralph ‘Uncle Tom’ Nader (Thank Gawd!). Like I have said before one of the main reasons I voted for Obama was because he was the smartest candidate. I don’t want a president I can drink beer with. I want a president who will work hard. Which Obama has proven already by already organizing his team. He knows there is a lot at stake and he needs to work twice as hard as Bill Clinton did to get this country back on the right track. I also want to say that for once in our country young people, independents and Hispanic immigrants really decided this election – this is a good thing, it means America is finally waking up from the very long neo-con nightmare.
