Being the daughter of one of the most respected American poets in modern history might mean that a love of language and structure is hard-coded into your DNA.
Fortunately, that’s the case with Lucinda Williams.
As the daughter of famed poet and scholar, Miller Williams, Good Souls Better Angels highlights that Lucinda Williams's verbal prowess isn’t just hard-coded in her DNA, she’s got her own language as an artist — and this is an artist firing on all cylinders.
The lyrical genius on Good Souls Better Angels leaves little doubt that she has a master's grasp on the power of words … and the music adds an added punch in its sparseness.
It also leaves little room for discussion on how she feels.
The three-time Grammy winner (15-time nominee) has long been one of the most respected voices in music. In 2002, Time Magazine voted her “America’s Best Songwriter” and VH1 ranked her №97 on their 100 Greatest Women in Rock & Roll and Lucinda Williams was selected by Rolling Stone as the 79th greatest songwriter of all time in December 2019.
