Lucinda Williams' Stories From A Rock n Roll Heart.

I just returned home from an afternoon of a doctor’s appointment and assorted arrands, and checked my emails. Amongst them was the latest from Elusive Disc, which included the announcement of the upcoming album from Lucinda Williams. Entitled the above heading, this album looks to be particularly and extremely interesting.

Collaborating on the album are a few of my favorite artists, including Buddy Miller and Patty Scialfa (Mrs. Bruce Springsteen to some), with song topics ranging from her stroke in 2020 (leaving her unable to play guitar), her relationship with Tom Petty, and her fondness for The Replacements (in the early-90’s I worked with a young singer/songwriter who was obsessed with Paul Westerberg and his band).

Lucinda holds a very special place in my heart; I absolutely love her to death (I met her in the mid-80's, but she was unfortunately already married to someone else, as was I ;-). I can’t wait to hear the album, and to read her memoir Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You (available April 25th), which I also learned of in the Elusive Disc email.
