Lucinda Williams - West (2LP)

Facts With West, a disc that may well be Lucinda Williams' most personal work to date, the singer/songwriter channels both her emotion and restive creative energy into a startling set of songs that touch on both darkness and redemption. At turns strikingly spare and compellingly muscular, the album's 13 cuts attest to her willingness to stretch as a musician - and to put herself on the line as a chronicler of life. This vinyl edition is pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
