It is no wonder that Lucinda Williams writes the songs of experience. Her voice can capture joy and misery with the same intensity. She has completely lived in her lifetime.
Her childhood travels took her from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Santiago, Chile, and everywhere in between. Her itinerant nature can be found in her music, as well, since she draws from a diverse array of artists who influenced her. "I loved Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams, but also Bob Dylan and the Doors and Jimi Hendrix," she says. "I don't see anything wrong with loving all kinds of music."
"I'm proud of this record," Lucinda says. "I'm proud of these lyrics and this music. It's a bit of a departure for me, and it's a very mature sound." On "Essence," Lucinda Williams proves that she's built to last. Her confidence is evident in every line. Her trademark voice is in top form here - eclectic as Lucinda herself, her singing can capture everything from stark betrayal to unadulterated joy. Therein lies the secret to Lucinda's genius - she writes and sings about real life: the pain, pleasure, and everything in between. Notable songs include -- .

Born
in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to renowned poet Miller Williams and a talented
pianist mother, Lucinda had a ferocious love for music and words at an early
age.
The
history of Lucinda's career is fast becoming the stuff of music legend, but a
brief primer is in order: after two early albums, "Ramblin'" (1979) and "Happy
Woman Blues" (1980), Lucinda's self titled release from Rough Trade is
considered her breakthrough. "Lucinda Williams" (1988) included some of her
best-known classics, including "Passionate Kisses," which won her a songwriting
Grammy in 1994. "Sweet Old World" was released in 1992 to continued applause and
six years later came "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road," widely considered as one of
the most influential records of the last half-century and hailed as "the Blonde
on Blonde of the 1990's" by legendary producer Joe Boyd. "Essence" follows in
her tradition of greatness, while offering something new to the listening
masses.
