Lucinda Williams - Little Honey
- Lucinda Williams has herself a ninth album on her hands with the impressive Little Honey. She delivers a series of tracks that are soulfully raw and open that embrace common heart throbbing and tear jerking themes in a redeeming way. Little Honey is light as a feather as it floats along, bearing bittersweet treats. At a steady pace, the album spans across a spectrum of tempos that are provoking and generate an array of vibes. One thing is true, at age 56, Lucinda still has a voice that reigns supreme and will make you submit as it weaves in and out with power and passion at a true constant.
Little Honey is diverse and resourceful in the trenches as it saddles up a balanced compiling of rocking tub thumpers and slow ballads that resurrect us from the inside out. It’s not a series of battered rhythms coated in pain and hardship. Even though each song seems to be a harsh endeavor oppressed by certain elements, when the dust settles and the sky clears, Lucinda appears unshaken. The lyrics are a wonderland of desire that is built on layers of subtext implying that more is going on.
Lucinda’s spirit is illuminated and glows for miles to be seen as she displays her immense talent for painting landscapes of the soul. Right from the lips of the artist, she claims her tracks are moody songs and that’s something you can definitely identify during the listening. The intensity is not only fueled by her desire, but by both the modest and sensual grooves from the backdrop. Little Honey blurs the line between adolescent innocence and a sense of maturity and growth.
