Music review: LucindaWilliams (HappyWoman9) at 70 is still finding her muse, still making music that matters
"Stories From a Rock N Roll Heart" by Lucinda Williams At least twice on her new album, Lucinda Williams worries about whether she can still write good songs.
Ironically, both are good songs. And while it's sometimes a bad sign when songwriters bemoan the need for inspiration, Williams' muse visits her plenty on"Stories From a Rock N Roll Heart." Williams' honesty and empathy serve her well on"Hum's Liquor," a tribute to Bob Stinson, one of the founding members of the seminal rock band, The Replacements, who died years ago at the age of 35. The song, which features Stinson's younger brother and fellow Replacements founding member Tommy Stinson, demonstrates that Williams, who just turned 70, still has the chops to strike deep emotional chords.
Her band, a mixture of her regular touring ensemble and others, sounds especially good on a tribute to Tom Petty, who died in 2017. Starting with a winding guitar riff that could have come from Petty's own Stratocaster,"Stolen Moments" has the power to make you miss him all over again.
