Description: Amazon.com essential recording Lucinda Williams makes this whole music thing seem so simple: Write in plain language about the people and places that crowd your memory; add subtle flavors of a mandolin here, a Dobro there, perhaps an accordion or slide guitar; above all, sing as honestly and naturally as you can. Of course, it took her six years to achieve this simplicity, an amazing achievement considering the number of knobs that were turned.

Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (50 music items)

"This country-rock veteran spent years fighting to make music her own way, turning ordinary lives into poetic ruminations with her melancholy yet indomitable voice. Essential moment: "Jackson," the achingest, prettiest song this side of Dionne Warwick's "Walk On By.""
