Free Music Notes for Happy Woman Blues

Free Music Review: Great early album
Hit: 4 Stars

This little-known early album showcases a much more country, much more raw Lucinda Williams. It is not as great as her follow up self-titled album or Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, but it is very good in its own right and has some great songs, particularly the title track, Lafayette and the original, faster version of I Think I Lost It, which she re-recorded on Car Wheels.

Free Music Review: Early Lucinda Williams - still excellent
Hit: 5 Stars

I was in the public library recently, flipping through the CD's. I pulled a handful and listened. What a joy it was to hit this one! I so much love discovering an artist and body of work that I knew nothing of. I feel like an armchair explorer.

I have since picked up 6 more of her CD's and enjoy them all. This one is very good. There is an unguarded down-home sound to her voice here that seems to fade in following albums. It is an early work but is more sophisticated than the Ramblin' CD. The addition of background vocals and more instruments fills out the songs a little. But I still enjoy the simple sound of this period.

Free Music Review: Vintage Lucinda
Hit: 4 Stars

This cd is essential if you are a true Lucinda Williams fan. I Lost It debuts here; (It's also on Car Wheels on a Gravel Road) and you can hear how much her sound has changed and yet remained true to her folk/alt country essence.

Free Music Review: Keeps getting better
Hit: 5 Stars

A couple of years ago, I reviewed this and gave it three stars. Since then, I've come to realize how good this disc really is; it gets better all the time. This was Lucinda's second release, and it's more country/folk than her later stuff. As raw as this is, the songwriting is superb. She has become known as one of the best artists around, and here you see,(and hear) that she had this gift right from the start. A classic.

Free Music Review: Happy Woman Blues
Hit: 4 Stars

Lucinda stated that she thought this was the record to avoid. A throw away that she made just to get her feet wet in the industry. I first heard Lucinda in Princeton, NJ opening for David Byrne. She blew him away and my eyes were opened to this musical genius. HWB is the perfect stepping stone to LW's later recordings. Vinyl pressings are climbing into the hundreds of dollars. Small wonder. You'll enjoy this Cd. Scott Neuman Forever Vinyl .com
